Hello! My real name is Michael Ely. I live near Manchester, England. Most of my Flickr photos have a cycling theme. There are some however that reflect other interests - but cycling is my "thing" and has been, on and off since 1961. I am a member the Rough Stuff Fellowship and the Veteran-Cycle Club.

In the past I have raced, toured, been a member of Audax UK and competed in mtb orienteering events. These days I tend to ride around on my own or with a friend.
