About Garneau
Garneau is a cycling brand based in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, near Quebec City, started in 1983 by Olympic cyclist Louis Garneau. It is known for cycling jerseys, bib shorts and helmets, as well as winter gear. The brand grew out of one rider's experience on the road and became a familiar name among Quebec cyclists.
