CYCLING ON SADO ISLAND – A CYCLIST’S DREAM DESTINATION IN JAPAN.
From Vermont to Sado Island: Japan’s Cycling Paradise In September, I packed a suitcase full of my favorite Terry gear and left Vermont. I came to start a new job on the other side of the world in Sado – a butterfly-shaped island in the Sea of Japan. I’d lucked out landing a dream job […]

What’s the Hold Up?
The lack of goods on the shelves is real. From cargo ships waiting their turns to dock, to trucking and labor shortages, no one seems unaffected by supply chain disruptions, including Terry.
We asked our very own Director of Operations, along with our top vendor partners, what’s causing the biggest hold up at your end?
Richard’s Ride 2021 – Celebrating the Love of Cycling in Vermont

BAGGY BIKE SHORTS IN THE LIMELIGHT.
Quite a few of our best loved, best reviewed bike shorts are actually loose fitting, non-lycra options that fall into the “baggy shorts” category. Up until now we didn’t have an easy way to locate those items separately, so we fixed that…
TOUR DE FRANCE 2021 PREVIEW.
After coming so close to being canceled in 2020, the difficulties the riders had preparing and achieving form during lockdowns, then the restrictions and compromises of last year’s Tour, the 2021 edition seems to be celebrating almost a pre-pandemic level of freedom and return to normality. What a relief! It’s shaping up to be a dramatic and compelling race once again. Here’s what to look out for in this year’s TDF…
TERRY CUSTOMERS ROCKING THE RIDE.

I’m always happy to see people on the bike paths and lanes where I live wear bike helmets, but I’m often surprised how many don’t have them adjusted correctly.

CYCLING: SECRET OF ETERNAL YOUTH.
It’s nice to have something you thought all along confirmed by research: A Dutch study found that cyclists live longer than others, and endure fewer health complications as they age.
We’re filing this under things we sort of knew already, but like to remember when deciding whether to do something we ought to do but don’t particularly want to, or go for a bike ride…
CHILL TRI – OUR BEST TRIATHLON SHORTS YET
Terry Ambassadors agree – Chill Tri Short Sets a New Standard for the Best Triathlon Shorts Whether it’s the infamous Ironman with its 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, and full marathon run to the finish line, or a local event that’s more do-able for mere mortals, triathlon is a uniquely demanding sport. Whatever length the race, […]
4,000 MILES LATER.
Cycling through a year of pandemic.
We’re here. We’ve still got two wheels. We learned how to find joy and freedom on our bikes during a wild ride called 2020. The year brought us together as a planet in ways that we will never forget. For me the metaphor of climbing a gap applies: an uphill battle, a sweet ride down.
TIME FOR A RESOLUTION REVIVAL.
Make Life Better this Year by Walking and Bicycling A little inspiration for new cyclists from a Terry Ambassador 100 days into 2021, and one year into this pandemic – a year of risks, restrictions and for many, real hardship.
