In 1886, ten years before the arrival of motor cars, a group of well-heeled individuals created an influential organisation that lobbied for better road surfaces, and pushed for the nationalisation of Britain's neglected highways. The trailblazing Roads Improvement Association eventually became the cornerstone of the "motor lobby" but it was founded, funded and originally run by cyclists.
