1894
During the late 1800's the popularity of cycling increased exponentially and Massachusetts was at the center of the craze. The Boston Cycle Club was the first of its kind in the nation and it soon became associated with the League of American Wheelmen, a national organization established in 1880. By 1892, the craze had officially spread to Dedham. That year, the original Dedham Cycle Club was established and their inaugural ride attracted 8,000 riders on Patriot's Day of that year.
