For most of its history, The League of American Bicyclists (a.k.a. LAB, and formerly known as the League of American Wheelmen) has been an organization controlled by, and representing, its members. That is no longer the case.

Some are from lifetime members, former directors, and even former League presidents and current director nominees.
