You might be interested in a Facebook group called Cyclists From The Past, which is full of old photos and characters from Irish cycling, including several I've posted of John. Everyone in that group would love to see your photos too. <br /><br />Foxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03371916895010842207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4395120962970750676.post-82138642795401049772019-06-10T11:56:16.624+01:002019-06-10T11:56:16.624+01:00My Dad was Bill Lackey, and uncle John Lackey.

This was David (Davy) O'Connor (1918-1995) and he was a keen cyclist up to his mid-30s. He was my father-in-law and I think the name of his cycling club was "South County Dublin Wheelers" or a similar title.
