Professional World Tour bike racer turned professional bike… rider, Ted King is now an ambassador for the general sport of cycling. He’s eager to put more peoples’ butts on bikes, which takes the form of dabbling in gravel, coaching, hosting events such as King Challenge, consulting on a number of organizations and other events, and just trying to perpetuate the excitement for the sport of cycling.

Laura King doesn’t fit into one lane—and that’s the point.

A professional gravel racer based in Vermont, her path to cycling wasn’t linear. It started in the pool, evolved through triathlon and Ironman World Championship racing, and eventually led to dirt—where performance meets perspective.

Today, she competes at the elite level while building a life rooted in the sport. She leads marketing at Parody Sport, co-founded Rooted Vermont, and—alongside her husband and two kids—has shaped a version of cycling that looks a lot like real life.

For Laura, it’s not about balance.
It’s about building a life that makes room for all of it.
