    In just a few short weeks, the Terry Fall catalog will be appearing in your mailbox. We know, we know, we’re not ready for summer to be over either, but the good news is that we’re starting our summer sale and there are lots of deals to be had…

  • PODIUM PERKS.

    The sport of cycling has its royalty, with all the fanfare, fans bare and tributes that come with it. And while we all know that podiums may crumble and kings can fall, companies (and the buying public) love a winner.

    Although now retired, former road racer, Marion Rousse, is an icon for all things French + cycling + women who race. She’s now working for Eurosport and continues to be married to cycling in every possible way (husband Tony Gallopin). How does the average French woman dress to ride? With the help of several boutique brands with style and technical savoir faire.

  • SWISS STYLE.

    As the Tour makes its way through the Jura Massif region from France into Switzerland this weekend, we’d like to highlight some of that area’s distinctive cycling style…

    Screen Shot 2016-07-12 at 8.32.30 AM

    BMC

    Mountains are unavoidable in Switzerland and for BMC, the testing and proving ground for its premium performance bikes. A pro team sponsor nearly since its inception, the bike geeks at BMC are devoted to precision engineering, with a Swiss carbon production facility that arguably produces the “Porsche of race bikes”.

    Screen Shot 2016-07-12 at 3.17.59 PM

    Check.

     

    ASSOS

    Although their women’s line is extremely limited (and extremely expensive), Assos is one of those aspirational brands that, like a Swiss watch, oozes perfection.

    CUORE

    One of the sponsors of the IAM Cycling Tour De France team, CUORE is another Swiss manufacturer with incredible attention to detail when it comes to apparel. Check out this elegant flatseam stitch with 4 thread colors, recently shared on FB:

    WENGER

    The Biker 37 Swiss Army knife is a cycling variation of the iconic classic that dates back to 1889.

    VOLTITUDE

    And speaking of Swiss Army, check out the Voltitude V1 fold-up, pedal-assist electric bike. With free shipping worldwide, this highly patented Swiss beauty can be folded and unfolded in exactly 1 second.

  • SHOP LOCAL: BIKE WORLD, IOWA.

    Screen Shot 2016-07-11 at 9.42.30 AM

    Bike World has been Iowa’s local bike shop since 1979. As “The Store that Supports the Sport”, they’re dedicated to providing the best selection, customer service, and cycling support in Iowa. Retail locations in Ames, Urbandale and West Des Moines allow Bike World to actively support these communities through bike safety presentations, local rides and cycling clubs, and they’re one of the official shops of RAGBRAI. To encourage folks to see the world through two wheels, they’ve even developed a tv show called Bike People which features trail highlights from around the midwest.

    ladies night

    1. Why do you think women choose shop at your store?

    We make it our mission to provide an enjoyable shopping experience for everybody who visits. Customer service is #1, and we also provide the widest selection of women’s cycling apparel in the area. We really want folks to be comfortable while riding. Finding the right fit, whether on a bike or with accessories, is an important part of that. We also host an annual Ladies Bike Social that creates a low pressure atmosphere for ladies to come in and gain knowledge about our products. Over 200 women attended this past year.

    2. Why do you sell Terry?

    Terry has great products that we can stand behind with confidence… both in quality and design.

    3. When a new-to-cycling female customer comes in, what’s the first thing you tell her about cycling?

    That the most important thing is that you are comfortable! You need a bike that feels great, and accessories to enhance that experience!

  • A TOAST!

    Screen Shot 2016-07-07 at 10.42.43 AM

    The right way (and the right recipe) to watch this weekend’s mountain stages of the Tour.

    A Poid de Pastis

    • 2 ounces very cold water
    • .5 ounce Pastis (I recommend Henri Bardouin)
    • Maraschino cherries
    • Long cocktail spears (5.5″)
    • Champagne flutes

    So simple, yet so fun. Pour 2 ounces of very cold water into champagne flute. Add .5 ounce of Pastis (if you’re a lightweight like me and still want to go for a ride later) and it changes to a milky white color. Spear your cherries and gently place them in the flute. Allez allez!!
