    Available in a variety of configurations, the Fly series is the most loved, highest rated and has the happiest customers…

    Falcon: The Fastest in the Flock

    “I have been riding seriously for about 9 years and have 4 road bikes. Every one has a Falcon on it. I have tried numerous other saddles but none have worked as well or have been as comfortable as this one.” Dan

    A Ride Down Memory Lane

    We started making saddles for men in 1998, after we introduced the first Women’s Liberator and started getting calls about selling them to men, too. Most of these calls involved descriptions of terrible things and foreign body parts. We soon got our xy chromosome design act together, collaborated with a great team of experts and dudes we knew we could experiment on without too much damage. In short order, a man’s saddle became our best selling product, and the rest is history…

  • SHOP LOCAL: GIRLS OUTDOORS.

    Screen Shot 2016-06-05 at 10.38.11 PM

    Girls Outdoors was founded in 2006 as a grass roots endeavor for the common girl folk. The shop’s mission: enhance the opportunities of outdoor minded women living in and visiting the Gallatin Valley (Montana). They offer apparel and equipment that appeals to the adventurous spirit. Located in the heart of Bozeman, the store has a friendly environment and enthusiastic customer service that’s directed toward women of all ages and abilities. In their words, “we want women to enjoy as many opportunities as possible to explore the outdoors.”

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

    At GO the environment is friendly and encouraging because we really enjoy helping you find just what you need for your adventures.

    2. Why do you sell Terry?

    We sell Terry at GO because the quality is outstanding, the brand name is greatly admired and the materials and fit are perfect for girls on the go.

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

    We tell all our new-to-biking customers that the bike short fit is oh so important for a comfortable ride. With the right bike short they can be prepared to accomplish their goals or just plain have fun.

    LOWEPRO SPORT 200 AW II.

    The simple genius of this pack’s design is noted when with feet on the ground, but not dismounted, you can slide it off your right arm and let it sling down under your left arm to unzip the side camera pocket for an easy grab and click.

    Lowepro sling

    This is the best way, bar none other, to carry a DSLR camera on a bike tour. The built in padded camera pocket is large enough for a Rebel 5, or similar camera, with 18-55 mm lens and a 75-300 mm telephoto lens and has all sorts of little nooks and crannies for memory cards, battery charger and cords.

    Screen Shot 2016-06-01 at 2.21.58 PM

    The main compartment is large enough to carry lunch, rain jacket and pants and other accessories. The front pouch expands for a helmet, or when on bike some Reefs for destination sightseeing or the cafe. There is a compartment and slot for a hydration bladder, although the pack does not come with one. The padded waste straps and sternum strap keep this super-lightweight pack secure while riding and there are two easy reach side zip pockets to fit an iPhone 6 with Google bike maps. The back padding is channeled for comfort and breathability. Lastly, there are cinch straps to hold a small tri-pod and tabs to clip a light to. The pack is very water resistant on its own, but also comes with a self-pouched waterproof, hi-viz rain cover.

    Screen Shot 2016-06-01 at 2.21.20 PM

    Note, this pack can also double as a travel pack, but it does not accommodate a laptop; I took it along with my commuter pack as a second personal item on the plane.

  • SHOP LOCAL: OneTen Cycles.

    Screen Shot 2016-06-01 at 10.19.09 PM

    OneTen Cycles in Mendota Heights, Minnesota shares the same mantra as Terry Bicycles:

    “Get more women riding bicycles, comfortably, safely and beautifully.”

    There’s no argument that men have dominated the cycling industry for generations, but today there’s a strong emergence of women cyclists and it’s exciting how the marketplace is responding to address their needs. OneTen Cycles, an independently owned bike store, plans to make a big impact helping more women ride bicycles.

    cyn in shop

    OneTen Cycles prides itself on being a woman-friendly bike store. This approach starts with a genuine greeting as you enter the shop, but there’s much more to making you feel comfortable. First, they have women working for them both behind the scenes and on the sales floor. OneTen is proud to employ two female sales associates and a female buyer/merchandiser. They all cycle and their experiences add credibility to their interactions with customers.

    steph at shop

    They also believe that not only should you feel welcome, but comfortable with the store layout and merchandise as well. A recent store remodel afforded them the opportunity to better address the needs of female customers. They added a comfortable, well-lit changing room and a professional, quiet bicycle fit station. Women now feel at ease trying on clothes and/or getting fit for the perfect size bike.

    terry sp16

    Terry clothing is proudly displayed in the designated women’s specific area. Because their female employees ride and wear the clothing, they can speak as experts. The store’s assortment ranges from recreational riders to performance cyclists. Terry clothing is a favorite because it offers both technical fabric and styling that is innovative and attractive. Furthermore, Terry offers sizing for real women’s bodies from size zero to plus sizes. Staff favorites include the Bella short and the infamous Bolero!

    cyn bolero

    In addition to a woman friendly store and a vast women’s product assortment, OneTen Cycles also hosts women specific events such as No Drop Rides and Fix a Flat Seminars, as well as partnering with studios that offer spin classes. OneTen Cycles earnestly tries to help more women recognize the sheer joy of riding a bicycle.

    Amare Helmet $98 (reg. $140)

    3. Gloves

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GEORGENA!

    Screen Shot 2016-05-25 at 9.31.26 AM

    When I first started working at Terry 20+ years ago, I was delighted to find out that birthdays were a holiday. The mark of a cool company, for sure. But the frosting on the cake was the inspiration from above, where Georgena (Terry) would always devote her birthday to riding one mile for every one of her years. On Tuesday, May 31stth, join us in saying, “Happy one more mile, Georgena!”

  • TERRY TEAM: MEET NOELLE WANSBROUGH.

    photo: Allison Kennedy

     

    As an owner of a cycling company that promotes “women in cycling” it was a natural to explore a variety women’s specific cycling brands. I was drawn to Terry right away because of Georgena Terry and her impact on women and cycling. I thought she was such an inspiration to women and cyclists in general.

    maydd2

    When I meet with a potential Terry dealer the first thing I talk about is the Terry Saddle demo program and the wide variety of size options in clothing. No other brand offers so many sizing options for women than Terry. Saddles, sizing and their “ride it and love it” guarantee program make it an easy sell.

    italy 2016 027-2

    Pedal Pushers Diva Day clinics are geared towards female cycling enthusiasts looking to gain confidence and efficiency on the bike. Many of the women are intimated by the sport and come to us to meet other female cyclists and learn new skills. The first thing we tell the women is the importance of being comfortable on the bike. A proper bike-fit and saddle can make a huge difference. If they are experiencing discomfort they will not stick with the sport.

    springcamp

    Many women want to know how I got into cycling. My father used to take me down to the Beaches in Toronto on weekends from the age of 10. A Dairy Queen ice cream was part of the incentive so I was hooked quickly. I took up mtb biking in my early twenties and started racing when I moved out West. I took up road biking in my early thirties as part of my mtn bike training. I love both sports equally and am passionate about showcasing them to as many women as possible.
