Welcome to the t-blog! It has risen from the ashes of our message board, which was vandalized beyond recognition by evil web forces. Eventually, it will return...

Over the course of this blog, I'll fill you in on all I know about bicycles and bicycling and my personal experiences on the bike. I welcome your comments on the content: what you'd like to read about, questions you have. Email me at talktous@terrybicycles.com.

When I started this business twenty years ago hand building bicycle frames in my basement, I had no idea I was starting an industry. There were no "real" bicycles for women then other than custom-built ones. Most bike shops thought of women as small men. There was plenty of room for improvement. The first shop I visited with my handbuilt Terry Precision sport bicycle told me "no woman will pay $600 for a bicycle". Those were fighting words -- and I love a challenge!

From a base of Terry women specific bicycles for all kinds of riding, this company introduced women's bicycle saddles (and threw in a few for men, as well), women's cycling apparel and accessories. It still amazes me that women's cycling is considered a "niche" market???

Wonderful rides in Vermont developed into annual Terry Tours -- an opportunity to ride with customers and staff and share ideas on all aspects of cycling. What better way to get to know your customers than to ride with them?

Tailwinds,
