About Us
Meet Georgena Terry
|
I started this company in my basement in 1985 after figuring out rather quickly that corporate life wasn't my cup of tea. Being a
mechanical engineer and passionate about bicycles, I learned the fine art of bike frame building and began making bicycles for myself
and friends who couldn't find bikes that fit properly. After selling out at a trade show, I quit my job at Xerox and
founded Terry Precision Bicycles for Women. The engineer and entrepreneur in me saw a huge, untapped market for bikes that fit women.
This was revolutionary thinking 20+ years ago -- and still is!
Today, I continue to be consumed by all things cycling and have dedicated my professional life to making Terry Precision the ultimate resource for female cyclists, whether it's products or information that can't be found anywhere else. I personally ride 6000 miles annually, testing all manner of products so if something has "georgena's choice" on it, you can be certain it's the real deal. I feel fortunate to have hired like-minded people to work at Terry. Everyone here is committed to making our customers happy. Helping select the right gear. Finding the right size or right saddle. Working with a bike shop to get a Terry demo bike. I encourage you to write me at talktous@terrybicycles.com and let me know what we can do better. |

Our Mission
We want women to have fun cycling. That's it, in a nutshell. Consequently we make things that fit better, look
better, perform better and make for happier riding occasions.
Our Design Philosophy
Fit, comfort and style.
Terry makes the only line of road bicycles designed specifically for women, without compromise. We're famous for our geometry which results in the most comfortable riding position possible.
We have a comprehensive apparel line in sizes XS - XXL, with many items available in 1X - 4X. We offer relaxed or aero fits in a variety of jerseys. We believe in ride safety so we also feature high-visibility colors and prints in many jersey and jacket styles. Additionally, we're proud of the fact that the majority of our apparel is made in the USA.
Our comfort-inspired bike seats literally blew a hole through the cycling industry. We design award-winning saddles for all levels of riders, both male and female, and offer an unprecedented ride-it-and-love-it guarantee.
We back all our products, unconditionally, so if you're not happy, we encourage you to return them for any reason.
