Anthony Lally (born 26 October 1953)[1] is an Irish former road-racing cyclist, who competed in the individual road race event at the 1980 Summer Olympics.[2]
Lally comes from Cabra, an inner suburb west of central Dublin.[3]
Lally raced nationally and internationally from 1971 to 1983.[1]
Lally's father was Mick Lally, honoured by an annual memorial race, or sometimes series of races, by the Dublin Wheelers cycling club, and his elder brothers, Sean and Jimmy, also raced,[4] as did a grandson, Connor.[5]
Lally retired from competitive cycling and moved to Australia shortly after his Olympic appearance, living in Sydney and working in insurance and pensions, and in 2015 applied for and secured a post on the board of Cycling New South Wales[3] for six months.
