By its' very nature mountain biking is a very "rock and roll" activity. Indeed during the early days of mountain biking we could name the Grateful Dead's Bob Wier and Sammy Hagar as members of our tribe. Both Hagar and the Dead had signature model bikes and I think we're all guilty of having the tunes blasting out of our Walkmans or MP3 players while riding.

Over the past twenty years if you've been a cyclist, no doubt Louis Garneau has been on your butt. Or torso. Or head. Well, his clothing has anyway.

In 1983 the Olympic cyclist and cross country skier saw the need for high quality apparel and started producing jerseys and shorts in his father's garage. Today, Louis Garneau is one of Canada's business success stories and a staple in athletic apparel around the world with sales surpassing the sixty million dollar mark.
