Bikes at Fashion Week.
NYC Fashion Week :: bicycles front and center. September’s NYC fashion week went mobile this year, with bikes front and center in the inaugural Tour de Fashion. A group of 30 haute cruisers were customized by top designers like Diane von Furstenberg, Isaac Mizrahi and Betsy Johnson. Bikes are complements of fashionable Bowery Lane Bicycles, […]
The cycling executive’s briefcase.
As Marketing Director for Terry, my life is about the art of mobility. I bought a Timbuk2 Swig out of desperation prior to a trade show after retiring an overloaded messenger bag that was making me think weekly massages were a job necessity. This bag rocks, even when filled with them. It’s low profile, ergonomically […]
Outdoor Retailer Trends
The Outdoor Retailer Summer Show just occurred in Salt Lake City. Our team spotted some interesting developments on the horizon. Here are some highlights:
Fall 11 Preview
Strada Jersey in Le Monde The Inspiration: European Heritage. Emerging out of World War II, a time of despair and pain, cycling brought life and hope to the world.

Few people have the mastery of urban riding in NYC, let alone at the age of 80. Bill Cunningham, on […]
Bike getaway: Yellowstone in April.
Start planning for next April. This trip should be near the top of every cyclist’s bucket list. Not only is the spring scenery tremendous, but for a couple of weeks in March/April, certain roads in Yellowstone Park are open to cyclists only. That’s right–just you and Yogi. It’s unbelievable to ride there without any traffic […]
Bike Getaway: Santa Barbara.
Late last fall, we shot the Terry Spring 2011 catalog in Santa Barbara. There’s no better place to ride in winter’s meanest months or get a jump on spring. In Santa Barbara, there are endless mountain, valley and coastal roads–you’re virtually guaranteed to discover something new each time you visit. Here are three of our […]
The Trend: Tone on Tone.
Tonal color blocking went out with disco shoes, but now it’s showing up everywhere from runway collections to the 2011 Terry Team kit. Yves Saint Laurent 70’s fever–electric and eclectic color blocking of orange on gold and pink on purple–fueled NYC’s fashion week in January. Gucci paired teal and cobalt, orange and red. Ditto Marc […]
