Tatiana's exuberant frame celebrates the fun and freedom of hip hop culture. Tatiana told us she loves the art form, and that she "likes to dance so much, even when there is no music. Dancing makes me feel good and that I can do anything." This fun, wild design is actually a technical achievement – it calls for seven layers of stencils and paint! A royal blue base coat is decorated with a kaleidoscope of shape and texture inspired by graffiti art.

At the 2018 Amgen Tour of California, the Rally Cycling team will ride six custom-designed, hand-painted Diamondback Podium bikes, each inspired by a child who has received a grant from the UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation (UHCCF). 

The art for each of the six one-of-a-kind pro-cycling bikes was inspired by the imagination of a UHCCF grant recipient who shared with the Rally Cycling design team some of their favorite things and future aspirations. Those special stories about everything from gladiators to hip hop music were used to create a theme and custom name for each bike in honor of each child.
