Mountain biker Lea Davison is co-founder of the Little Bellas cycling program, a two-time Olympian, and a two-time World Championship medalist. Davison is also a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights in sports.
For Pride Month 2024, Davison and her clothing sponsor Louis Garneau teamed up for a great-looking kit. The special edition jerseys, bibs, and running tees showcase Davison’s commitment to the LGBTQ+ community. Plus, it matches the custom-painted Allied BC40 mountain bike the Vermont native rides.
In addition to the clothing looking great, the program has another purpose. Louis Garneau is donating up to 33 percent of the custom kit’s sales to Athlete Ally, a non-profit that advocates for LGBTQ+ inclusion in sports.
To order a jersey for yourself, a partner, or a family member, the clothing is on sale until the end of June at Garneau’s Pick.Pay.Ride custom shop.
As Deputy Editor, Tara Seplavy leads Bicycling’s product test team; after having previously led product development and sourcing for multiple bike brands, run World Championship winning mountain bike teams, wrenched at renowned bicycle shops in Brooklyn, raced everything from criteriums to downhill, and ridden bikes on six different continents (landing herself in hospital emergency rooms in four countries and counting). Based in Easton, Pennsylvania, Tara spends tons of time on the road and trail testing products. A familiar face at cyclocross races, crits, and bike parks in the Mid Atlantic and New England, on weekends she can often be found racing for the New York City-based CRCA/KruisCX team. When not riding a bike, or talking about them, Tara listens to a lot of ska, punk, and emo music, and consumes too much social media.
