Iconic Canadian cycling business Garneau files for bankruptcy - https://www.bicycleretailer.com/...tection#.Xl_3IGhKiyI
Founded by it's name sake Louis Garneau over 30 years ago, first known for their apparel but over the years have extended the brand's offering massively to now make everything from whole bikes to a full line of sports nutrition!
A top industry insider, ounce told me that it would possibly be the businesses undoing at some point - the relentless, brand extension!
Sorry, to see this happen at a personal level. Louis Garneau the man, is super-passionate about the sport of cycling, and always had a friendly word with me when we would ever meet up at industry events over the years!
For many years, I've always had several pieces of Garneau cycling apparel in my rotation. I would say, the current "Most Comfortable" cycling shorts of the ones I own, are from Garneau!
