To all of you who’ve made the request for a male companion to our Soleil bike tops, meet the Terry SolMates. Complementary in print, fully UPF 50+ sun protective, lightweight and made for real bodies, these duos are designed for couples who love to do everything together. And no matter how you identify as a couple, the pairing opportunities make it work for all.
Soleils are ultra light yet totally sun protective, minimally seamed but technically geared for all-day riding. The fabric is a smooth micropoly/spandex that can be worn in every climate and every season. It provides UPF 50+ coverage, wicks away moisture, feels cool against the skin and has anti-odor properties that will keep you and your riding mate comfortable.
Outfitted with rear pockets, styled to move without restriction and available in two limited edition combos, they’re in stock and already on the road…and other unexpected places.
Terry, the original women’s cycling company, has introduced nine new innovative bike bottoms with the launch of their 2023 Spring collection. The new line-up of bottoms includes options with higher rise, longer inseams, and extended sizing as well as additions to their high visibility, endurance, and trail-friendly assortments of apparel. These bottoms will also introduce new colorways of best sellers and the use of more sustainable fabrication.
A combination of high compression fabrics and Terry’s all new Flex Air Max chamois define the Long Haul Short. The goal for this bottom was to design a lightweight performance-level short that would be up for the challenge of centuries, high heat situations, international touring and gravel riding. This is achieved with a new multi-density Flex Air Max Chamois that adds a higher degree of long term comfort without bulk and a higher compression 6-panel fit that increases support and reduces muscle fatigue. Minimally constructed front waist panels and laser cut leg openings held in place with a stitchless, silicone-free 10mm gripper provide a friction-free experience for long lasting comfort. Nicely integrated smartphone pocket with bonded edge; made in a green-energy certified sewing facility in the USA and available in sizes XS-XXL. 8.5 inch inseam. $174.95 suggested retail.
Like it’s predecessor the Grand Tour Short, the Grand Tour Knicker provides serious riders with the support needed to pursue long distances, coarse terrain, a variety of temperatures or any combination thereof—now in an extended 18.5 inch inseam. Outfitted with features like touring pockets and Terry’s Flex Air Tour Chamois with a high level of padding, soft wing technology and perforated foam for breathability. It’s also made of Polartec’s tri-blend Powerstretch fabric which is fast drying, moderately compressive and soft next to the skin. Designed with all-day comfort in mind, the waistband is elastic free and bonded to reduce seaming against the front waist. The leg bands, too, are designed without a high degree of restriction, instead using stitchless hypoallergenic gripper tape on the inside of the leg hem to keep things gently in place. Available in sizes XS-XXL. $149.95 suggested retail.
Terry’s best-selling Breakaway line of silky, lightweight, performance bottoms has expanded for 2023 with new higher rise and visibility options. Both the Breakaway LTD Short and Breakaway LTD Short are USA-made out of a moderately compressive fabric and have the same sculpted paneling, flat seam construction and list of features as the original Breakaway Short (a Bicycling magazine Editor’s Choice designee). The limited-edition Breakaway adds wrap-around high viz inserts to an area of the body that makes a difference when it’s in motion for increased rider safety. The Breakaway Hi Rise utilizes a higher rise and wider, elastic-free comfort waistband that extends the torso coverage an extra 2 inches. Both are available in sizes XS-XXL and feature an 8.5 inch inseam. $104.95 suggested retail.
A runaway hit when it was first introduced, the Bike Bermuda is now available in Navy as well as classic Black. The Bike Bermuda combines all the best things about Bermuda shorts (high rise, long length, leg pocket and grip-free hem) with all the best things about Terry’s Breakaway Shorts (silky fabric, sculpted panels, Fleet Air Chamois). Built to be a truly comfortable and affordable bottom for every day cycling, Terry proudly manufactures this short in the USA at a green energy-certified sewing facility. Available in sizes XS-XXL. $99.95 suggested retail.
Field tested on an Italian bike tour and Montana singletrack, the goal of Terry’s new Rover Short was to provide women with a longer length, 2-piece short/padded liner combination that can be easily pulled on and comfortably worn on or off the bike. An alternative to the spandex sector of cycling, the Rover is made of a recycled stretch woven polyester, has an easy-fit, printed mesh waistband, and 2 front zippered pockets to secure essentials. The longer-than-average 13 inch inseam provides excellent coverage while the diamond gusseting allows for full freedom of movement. Included is Terry’s Universal Liner with lightweight Urban Chamois, ideal for spending 1-2 hours continuously in the saddle. The Universal Liner is detachable making this bottom ideal for biking, hiking, and travel. Available in sizes XS-XXL. $119.95 suggested retail.
Terry designed the Vista Skort to be comfortably wearable in high heat conditions and on off-road terrain. It is made of lightweight, abrasion-resistant, recycled stretch woven nylon, and features a 4-way stretch waistband for added comfort and a secure but accommodating fit. The integrated liner short is built with Terry’s ultra-breathable and ventilating Fleet Air Lite chamois, and comes attached to the overskort to prevent the garment from shifting while riding. The outer skirt has a mobility-friendly design that separates for easy pedaling and has an attractive, printed wrap-around yoke. Available in sizes XS-XXL. $109.95 suggested retail.
The Aria 8 Inch joins Terry’s array of performance liners and combines greater coverage with their Italian-made Fleet Air Chamois to support longer intervals of riding. The seamless Fleet Air chamois utilizes Terry’s signature soft-wing construction to reduce bulk and prevent chafing as well as multi-level foam padding that’s perforated for superior ventilation. This new 8 inch inseam hits at mid thigh, making it ideal for pairing with longer overshorts and skirts. The comfortable fit, breathable fabrication and signature stretch lace leg bands, remain true to Terry’s original best-selling 6.5 inch Aria liner. Available in sizes XS-XXL. $69.95 suggested retail.
Terry will offer extended sizing in two best-selling, high rise bottoms: The Holster Hi-Rise Short and Holster Hi-Rise Capri. Available in sizes 1X-3X and well-suited for long distances, both feature an ultra-wide, contoured, extra high waistband and moderately compressive fabrication to reduce muscle fatigue and increase circulation. Engineered with deep, stretchy, perforated pockets for quick, convenient access and the all-day comfort Flex Air chamois, the Holster Hi Rise Short and Capri join Terry’s inclusive collection of tops and bottoms for plus size riders. The Holster Hi Rise Short has an 8.5 inch inseam and the mid-calf length Holster Hi Rise Capri has an 18.5 inch inseam. $139.95 suggested retail for Holster Hi-Rise Short. $149.95 suggested retail for Holster Hi-Rise Capri.
About TERRY
Founded in 1985, TERRY has been dedicated to getting more women riding bikes. The company’s mission is fun for all women, comfort on the bike and getting the most out of every ride. TERRY apparel (ranging in sizes from XS–3X), and saddles for both women and men are designed to improve the ride for all levels of cyclists and are distributed by better bike shops and major retailers across the US, in addition to directly from terrybicycles.com.
Entering its ninth year, the Wellness Revolution is a program developed by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont and Terry to get more women riding bikes safely and comfortably. This special program promotes healthier lifestyles and riding confidence over the course of a 4-6 week training period. In 2022, following a pandemic hiatus, the program came back stronger than ever introducing a third chapter in the Northeast Kingdom alongside the Burlington and Rutland chapters.
Beyond great exercise and camaraderie, the Wellness Revolution includes sessions on bike maintenance, mindfulness, urban and gravel riding techniques, cross training and more. Through this program we have experienced firsthand the effect that having a supportive group, all seeking to thrive via cycling, can have. In celebration of the New Year, new chapter, and new outlooks gained, Wellness graduates, program leaders, and instructors shared how the Wellness Revolution has impacted them.
“I have ridden bikes all my life, but consider myself a casual rider. I learned so much from this program; my confidence has soared! I even learned things that I didn’t know I needed to know. Thank you again for this life enhancing opportunity!”– Sandi R.
Wellness Coordinator Speaks On Opening New Chapter
“With the community rallying behind us, we moved quickly to launch the program at the end of September. We knew we were pushing the limits, as shorter daylight hours and cooler temps would soon be upon us. And yet, within days of opening registration, we had a full roster of women excited to join us and a group of exceptional coaches ready to lend support.“
“Our hopes and dreams were realized very early on. Within minutes of meeting each other, in a round-table activity, the women opened to the process, exposing their vulnerability, as one by one they shared the fears, concerns, hopes and dreams cycling held for them. From that moment, a culture of empowerment, support and compassion became rooted in the ties that brought us all together. Leading this group, I was reminded about what I love most about cycling and what became a shared connection within the group: enjoying the scenic byways and beauty of Vermont, the power of a supportive cycling community, the process of overcoming obstacles and fears that live within us and emerging feeling more confident and ready to take on that next adventure, and knowing at the end of the day I could feel (hello, legs and lungs!) that we are stronger than we imagined we could be.“
“The educational pieces of the program are a fundamental component, evidenced on our very first group ride, when one cyclist declared she had experienced a spiritual awakening to learn her bike had gears! That in itself, was a life changing experience. The Wellness Revolution program set the foundation for this incredible experience, building on fundamental skills and instilling a love for cycling and outdoor recreation. There were tears of joy shed and hugs shared, as everyone celebrated each others’ victories. Nothing speaks more to this than our final group ride which provided our cyclists with two mileage options: a 15 or 20 mile loop. In the spirit of their strong connection as a group, the women who planned to do the longer loop, declared at the last moment that they wished to do the shorter route so they could all ride together. And so it continues, well beyond the end of the program. “
-Jennifer Grant, Community Health Lead, Northern Counties Health Care & Wellness Revolution Coordinator

For some participants, it had been a long time since they last took to the saddle. Bethany Yon, hadn’t been on a bike in more than 25 years when she joined the Revolution “You know that old adage, ‘it’s like riding a bike?’ Well, not for me,” she says. “I was close to walking away because I was so intimidated. Program instructors made all the difference, though, breaking down each part of riding—from how to kick off to when to shift gears—until every woman felt confident enough to ride on the road.”
Our wheels are our wings but it’s always good to have a back up.
From The Mouths of Bike Babes: Wellness Alumni Quotes
“Such excellent thought and planning went into developing this program. I didn’t expect the extra classes designed to help you maintain your bike, or to learn specific stretches & strength exercises to help with biking. The class with a certified gravel/MTB trainer was awesome. The mindfulness class and just the overall encouragement throughout that I could do this was so confidence building. I have certain goals in riding and how I approach them now will be totally different than I originally thought because of what I learned in class and from just being out there doing it and learning from other riders.”
“The Wellness Revolution came into my life just when I needed it most. I am so grateful for the wonderful and welcoming group of leaders and participants in the program for not only reassuring me that I’m not alone in my trepidation after an accident but that I am also more than capable of reclaiming my love of cycling.“
“It has had such a positive impact on my outlook and motivation for getting out”
“This was a well run, well organized event. Everyone was very encouraging, cheerful and supportive to all riders no matter their ability level. It was a great kick start especially for people who hadn’t ridden in a long time.”
Many spoke on a not-so-unexpected benefit of the Wellness Revolution: the friendships they found with fellow riders.
Friends for life
“This was an unexpected late summer opportunity to meet new people, get outside and rekindle a love for cycling, and learn and become more confident in taking care of my bicycle on my own! It was also fun seeing and re-connecting with a few women I hadn’t seen in years… All in all, I am energized to continue cycling and perhaps even upgrading my old Hybrid Mountain Bike!”
“I was so happy to build connection with other like-minded women who enjoy the out of doors and exercising for our health and well being.”
“Finding a group of ladies to ride with!! I love it. I am looking toward pursuing winter biking with them.”
“The program introduced me to women, of all levels, who want to get out riding.”
“I think this group of women will continue to gather for biking but there was also mention of cross country skiing, hiking or other outdoor activities. So exciting!”
“Safety in numbers! Love this group and all of the support”
The bonds built during the Wellness Revolution have gone far beyond the bike, yet always return to it. By providing access to this encouraging environment, Terry and BCBSVT have also created a space for Vermont women to grow and be uplifted in other arenas in their life.
Dynamic Duo Behind It All
“We encourage women across the spectrum of cycling comfort levels to join us. Whether you are just starting out or are looking to get exercise in a supported way, this free program advances women’s cycling abilities, builds confidence, and provides an opportunity to connect in a fun, supportive environment.”
-Megan Peek, Community Relations and Health Education Manager at Blue Cross
“The Wellness Revolution program reminds me of all the things cycling has done for me. It provides the grit and determination to try new things, the confidence in knowing you’re stronger than you think, and develops new friendships that can last a lifetime. My eight-year affiliation with the Wellness Revolution, BCBS of Vermont and Megan Peek is great example of this.”
–Lisa Wilkes, Customer Service, Ambassador, Sponsorship and Events Manager at Terry
If you’re in our neck of the woods (Vermont) and are ready to join the revolution in 2023, please connect with us. It’s never too late to set a new goal for yourself or help someone else change her life through cycling. Sessions will be held in Burlington, Rutland, and the Northeast Kingdom.
As we move into the New Year there is no better time to do a check-in with yourself and assess the burdens that could be hampering your daily living and impeding your peace of mind. It’s simple, carrying excess things that don’t serve you into 2023 will increase your emotional and mental load, so let’s leave them behind. It’s time to release the past, anger, fear, and anxiety that can cast a heavy shadow on your heart. When we release these burdens, we not only strengthen our hearts, but our minds and bodies as well.
Find Boosters of Joy
There are many BOOSTERS OF JOY that can help you shed your burdens, find what fuels your fire and encourage you to think about how you desire to show up in the world. BOOSTERS OF JOY bring happiness, laughter, smiles and most importantly, a positive effect on your mental well being. There are so many big things, small things and in-between things that can serve as boosters.
Here are my top suggestions:
Empower yourself to get out and exercise. Whether riding your bike, going for a hike, taking a leisurely walk or practicing yoga. Find joy through breath and the movement of your body. Let the bliss of all you’re capable of flow through you and send self-doubt out. EMPOWER your mind and feed the soul with the goodness of movement.
When you find yourself circling back to a dark space, pause and take three nourishing deep breaths. Let air fill up the belly and lungs and let a huge exhale out. Slowly repeat to yourself “I am not my thoughts.”
Adina leading a grounding stretch with her local Black Girls Run group
Surround yourself with a community that wants to see you thrive. Explore your passions and reach out to people with common interests. Finding a tribe of like minded people to share your passion is pure joy. If you aren’t finding the exact group you’re looking for, consider starting one yourself. You may be surprised how many people share your interests or goals!
Lastly, remind yourself your strength will always be greater than your struggle!

“Every item I’ve ever purchased from Terry I’ve loved, lived, sweated, laughed, and cried in.” – Haven Lindsey
Haven Lindsey in her winning Soleil Long Sleeve Top
Just before the Holidays we received a heartfelt note and poem from Terry customer and newfound friend, Haven Lindsey. With her words, she beautifully expressed the tremendous impact cycling has had on her and voiced how Terry gear helped her heal when life was putting her through the paces. Her message deeply resonated with our team and reminded us all of what sets Terry apart from the status quo. We are honored to share Haven’s powerful prose with you here.
Dear Terry
“Hello Everyone at Terry Bicycles!
I have wanted to write a note to you all for a few years. (And no, I have never written a note to a store!)
About 10 years ago, when I was living in Maine, I went through a god-awful divorce after losing the boy we had raised for 13 years. I was broken and shattered in every possible way and it took me a long time to bounce back. The thing that helped me do so was my bike. At the time (despite having had my life savings embezzled), I ordered some things from Terry, and even this morning riding my bike on my trainer, I wore a pair of Terry tights that I ordered a few years ago.
I’ve moved around since my divorce but have landed happy and healthy in Taos, NM. I am not a big-purchasing customer of yours because I’m not in the financial position to do so but I assure you, every item I’ve ever purchased from Terry I’ve loved, lived, sweated, laughed, and cried in. I’ve healed in Terry, I’ve healed with Terry which probably sounds corny but it’s true. When you grieve in certain “outfits” and become vulnerable everything has meaning – even the clothes you’re wearing.
I am a writer and this is a poem I wrote titled The Mourning Ride about my experience. I’ve always wanted to share with you that your shorts and tights have been with me every turn of the wheel. On my most broken days, I would wear my favorite Paris Eiffel Tower Soleil Long Sleeve Shirt to help me feel better, like I mattered like there would be another world waiting after the pain (there was).
Anyway, because it’s the holidays and because I am feeling grateful for where I am today, I thought I would finally share just how helpful your bright, fun, quality, cycling gear has helped me.
Happy holidays, Terry. You have helped make my world a better place to be. “
The Mourning Ride By Haven Lindsey
Empty on the inside
While life was being lived all around me
Nothing felt like it fit
Including me
Words fell flat
Hugs didn’t land
Food had no taste
Life lost its flavor
My faith kept me upright
My bike helped me heal
The cadence
The pedals
The rhythm of my breath
The sounds of the gears
Miles of solitude
I let the tears fall from my heart
Exhaustion felt better than empty
The tears and the sweat
The crashes and the flats
The poems that started to come
The cracks in my heart that started to mend
The light was still there
The smiles started to come when I would see a dog
or a flock of geese
or a momma deer with her fawn
Without thought I pedaled
From my darkness to the light
Hundreds of rides
Thousands of miles
Gallons of tears
And then one day the tears stopped
But I didn’t.

Reasons We Ride
At Terry, everything we do is fueled by the mission of encouraging women to ride. We believe our wheels are our wings and every woman should experience the freedom and solace of cycling. On the tailwinds of Haven’s mighty message, Terry Team members were inspired to speak on the impact cycling has had on their lives and how riding will propel them in 2023.
“I ride for many reasons, but for starters, I dislike driving! I ride for errands and for scenic vistas – you just can’t beat a Lake Champlain sunset. I believe wildflowers and wildlife are best experienced on two wheels. When the weather turns cold a favorite pursuit of mine is periodically checking on a local icefall, something you can only experience by foot or bike. I love to feel the sunshine kiss my face while I ride, the rhythmic pedaling meditative and soul cleansing. Lately, I’ve found peace by riding dirt trails or exploring the growing list of regional trails like the Empire Trail in New York. In 2023, I’m looking forward to the completion of Vermont’s cross-state Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, and plan to explore more of New Hampshire’s Northern Trail. My motto: Embrace life at bike speed.”
“Even those of us in the industry find ourselves thrown off course, losing sight of 2 wheels, patiently awaiting the rubber to hit the road. So, as the New Year approaches, leaving behind it the struggles and grief of losing a mom, the road to repair is on the horizon (along with temps above freezing!). This girl resolves to reconnect and simply RIDE MORE. RIDE OFTEN.”
– Kelly, Marketing
“I began riding and training for a century ride just before my 40th Birthday. I cruised past that birthday milestone in the best shape ever, and the century rides gave me great confidence in all aspects of my life going forward. Riding has taught me you can do anything with focus and confidence!! ”
– Lisa, Customer Care
Lisa forging her way via fat bike
“Haven’s poem about riding after the loss of her child hit home for me. Although I haven’t submerged myself fully in riding, I have found the same healing in the water. I often ask myself: what’s keeping me from riding?? This year, I’ve made a goal for myself to ride at least 5 days a week, even if just a short leisurely ride. I hope this will be a driving change towards what makes me feel best. ” – Danielle, Accounting
Riding into the light
“Cycling has long been my good mood fuel; I love the joyful rush that is revealed with each revolution. If life brings me down, my wheels turn me topside. I love the way riding has deepened my connection to my local community and introduced me to lifelong friends. Whenever I go riding, I always see a friendly and familiar face. In 2023, I aim to volunteer more frequently with local Vermont non-profits Old Spokes Home, Betty’s Bikes, and Local Motion to help make cycling more accessible, safe, and fun for ALL. Aside from that, I’m hoping to jet out to California for some quality riding time with my Grandy and Pops!”

In August, we biked 9.8 miles to Great Camp Santanoni in New York’s Adirondack Park, and it was a really fun experience.
It’s the most unique historic site I’ve ever been to because it’s been left in pretty much the same condition that it was in when it was sold to New York State, besides some exterior maintenance. Not much is off limits for exploration, and things are in a state of decay.
You can wander around and see most parts of this great camp, with what is left of its abandoned belongings. There are original fixtures in the bathrooms, a huge wood stove in the kitchen, a walk in icebox, and a hot water heater from the 1950s. In a closet filled with random artifacts, we found this old rusty bike frame with the chain still on.
The ride in was on a well-maintained carriage road that is only open to bikers, walkers and a horse drawn carriage. The ride in is a steady climb that passes by the old farm complex, past fields, through forests, over stone and wood bridges, and finally to the edge of Newcomb lake were the great camp is perched.
If you go, leave plenty of time to wander around the many fascinating buildings, including a boat house full of boats visitors can take out onto the lake. It was an extremely peaceful and beautiful place to spend the day. Camp sites are available – be prepared for a rustic experience!
Skida is more than just a headwear and accessories dynamo. They’re a 5-letter word for FUN.
In 2008 when founder, Corrine Prevot picked up some patterned stretch fabrics to make hats for her cross-country ski teammates at Burke Academy in Vermont, she didn’t know she’d be starting her first business. Skida’s playful, moisture-wicking, wind-cutting hats broke ground with the New England ski community and snowballed into the powerhouse it is today. Armed with an incredible work ethic, fantastic technical fabrics, and a mission to bring people together, encourage play, and generate smiles, Prevot started sewing for the masses. As the demand for these hats grew, new products joined the line to keep everyone warm and colorful. You’ll now find Skida accessories far beyond the slopes participating in myriad avenues of outdoor fun from cycling to ice fishing.
Skida founder, Corrine Prevot, and the backdrop that brought Skida to life. Desert days or chilly dipping, Skida has you covered in comfort and unique patterns
Upon graduating from Middlebury College in 2013, Prevot took her talents and her toques to Burlington, Vermont, and set up shop in the south-end arts district. As a company, Skida strives for a fresh perspective, limited-edition products, and is committed to local production and sustainability. A brand to look and feel good in, everything is produced in the illustrious Northeast Kingdom, supporting local cottage industry sewing. In their production, Skida utilizes recycled materials whenever possible and cuts their fabrics in a strategic manner to best use every single bit. This allows them to provide an ever-changing collection of fun, fresh prints with peace of mind, knowing that less than 1% of their fabric is wasted in the process. Skida wholeheartedly believes manufacturing their product line locally solidifies their roots to the community and is a tangible way to reduce waste and the impact of shipping materials.
Skida’s core line is produced in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, a rural area with a rich history in garment manufacturing.
Hailing from the same home state and sharing a fervor for helping women enjoy the outdoors boldly and comfortably, it was kismet for Terry to collaborate with Skida on a signature series. We were delighted to pair iconic Terry graphics with Skida’s cool-weather craftmanship to bring you this limited-edition collection.

We Vermonters know a thing or two about staying warm and looking cool and Skida accessories are a favorite among Terry staffers and locals alike. We love adding a pop of color when the world seems to be a sea of white. Along with adding major style points, Skida makes braving the elements easier thanks to their premier fabrication. From skiing switchbacks, to hitting the trails on fat bikes, or simply hitting the town, you’ll catch us rocking Skida.
Skida’s Sun Tour is ideal for more mild conditions. Featherweight, sun-protective, and multifunctional; this neck tube is made of the lightest, most breathable, moisture-wicking fabric.
