Ryan lived at 312 Euston Road, St Pancras, London in 1901. His father was a cutler, toolmaker and shopkeeper of Buck & Ryan. After retiring from competitions, Ryan converted Buck & Ryan into a successful concern. He also became a prominent cycling administrator, supervising most of the major competitions in Europe.[6]
