This is the personal website of Charlie Kelly. Charles Kelly Maybe I will think of a cutesy name for it, but as far as I know, they're all taken. Somehow you have found my site. Or maybe not. I can't tell, because I don't have a counter. Anyway, it's cheap for me to be here, and isn't that wonderful? If you've been here before, check it out. I actually updated the site. See if you can find where it's different. The copyrights to all text and images are mine, with the exception of several Sons of Champlin images.

Mountain Bikes During the '70s and '80s my involvement with mountain biking led to my induction into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame in Crested Butte, Colorado when the Hall of Fame opened in 1988. For more information on the beginnings of mountain biking and my activities during the early years of the sport, click my photo.

The Fat Tire Flyer was the first publication anywhere in the world for mountain bikers. I started publishing it in the fall of 1980, and stopped in 1987. In this area I have collected some of the articles and graphics from the magazine. Click the Fat Tire Flyer on the left or the title above for more.

The Sons of Champlin The Sons of Champlin were one of the original "San Francisco" bands from The City's rock heyday of the sixties and seventies, although the group hailed from Marin County just to the north of San Francisco proper. In 1968 I became the chief roadie, and this has led to a number of interesting experiences which I have chronicled here, along with photos of the band from then to now.

Kelly Moving I move pianos. Somebody has to do it, and the reason I make money at it is because you don't want to. In this area I have collected information on my business, as well as piano moving in general, equipment and technique. Click the logo at the right to see the page.

	The Kelly Family   My family is very important to me. Exposing them to strangers is not the purpose of this site, so this area is limited to a few photos.	Fairfax Criterium, 1974

Reprints Over the past twenty years I have written a pile of material and taken lots of photos, which would be lounging unseen in my files if it were not for this website, where they can remain unseen, but in digital form. Now there's an improvement.

Surfin' I couldn't think of anywhere else to put this knot, so I put it here so you could click it for the link. There's a lot of interesting stuff on the web. No, really. There must be. One thing that's interesting is finding out what interests other people. So here's a small sample of what interests me, and some knots, which also interest me.

I have a sock puppet handling the email from this page. You may contact my sock puppet at:
