January 19, 2016 By Georgena 3 Comments

  When Spring arrives and the heady scent of thawing earth and emerging blooms is in the air, the lure of a bicycle ride is overwhelming. Best to make sure you and your bike are ready for the enjoyable hours of riding to come. Human bodies and bicycle bodies aren’t really all that different when […]

Georgena Terry, the video

January 11, 2012 By Georgena 18 Comments

In the early days of Terry, I can remember spending hours with a photographer who wanted an edgy photo of me surrounded by bicycle wheels. I have so little patience for sitting, smiling, raising my chin a bit, turning my head this way then that way and waiting for lighting and backgrounds to be adjusted. […]

A Perfect September Ride

September 25, 2011 By Georgena Leave a Comment

Leaving my house, I turn out of my neighborhood and onto a lightly traveled, recently chip-sealed suburban road which makes me really appreciate the comfort of wider tires and a compliant frame. Within a mile, it’s decision time. Continue straight on a flat-ish route or turn right up a small hill. Wondering whether a recent […]

Chip Seal: A Sign of Summer

June 13, 2011 By Georgena 2 Comments

No matter what you call it, “chip seal”, “oil and stone”, “tar and feather” or “aargh, not my favorite road”, it affects all cyclists. When faced with a freshly chip sealed road, I try to be as pragmatic as possible. The more I know about chip seal, the more I’ll appreciate it.  Maybe.  I’m sharing […]

Off to Headquarters!

January 15, 2011 By Georgena 8 Comments

Most people think I reside in Burlington since that’s where our corporate headquarters have been for the last  year.  No, I still live in western New York and work remotely from my home office.  There are three of us in that situation.  We make the trip to Burlington several times a year to see familiar […]

Born in the Bathtub

October 30, 2010 By Georgena 4 Comments

Where have I been? I didn’t realize it was trendy to be born in a bathtub. I just figured it was the safest place in the house for a prototype Terry frame and fork built for me by Waterford. The cats can’t knock them over if they’re in the bathtub. And the bathroom doubles as […]

Lunch with Cy

October 21, 2010 By Georgena Leave a Comment

Monday, the day after the Wild Goose Chase, was a perfect kind of wind down day. Sunny and calm. The perfect day to ride with my friend Cy on some of the sweeter roads in the area and talk about what a great weekend it was and how much more we can do next year. […]

Baggage

May 25, 2010 By Georgena Leave a Comment

I can’t believe how much “stuff” I take on vacation. Just the electronics alone: 2 iPods™ (need a back up — no fun driving 9 hours each way with no tunes), an iPad™, an iPhone™, a MacBook Pro™, a digital camera, a Flip® video camera and all the necessary battery rechargers and AC/DC converters…oh, and […]

Freeing a Stuck Seatpost

February 13, 2010 By Georgena 2 Comments

Last week, I began an overhaul of my hybrid bike, Moo. Moo is a very special bike. It began life as Mt. Marcy, our original mountain bike, named after the highest peak in the Adirondacks. When we decided to introduce a hybrid with a cow theme, Brian Moredock re-painted the bike and it became Moo. […]

The Zen of Bike Building

October 28, 2009 By Georgena Leave a Comment

Apologies to the real thing, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. A neat book when it came to the sections on maintenance, but totally lost on me otherwise. I never could figure out why that guy would let life come between him and his motorcycle. I’ve been in a zen state myself the last […]

My Vacation

September 4, 2009 By Georgena Leave a Comment

Late every summer, I meet up with some friends from California and we go on a tour in Vermont with Bike Vermont. This year we chose a new tour that started south of Burlington and made its way into the Champlain Islands. I’ve never been on a Bike Vermont tour that wasn’t super duper, but […]

Competitor Analysis

August 19, 2009 By Georgena Leave a Comment

Competitor analysis. One of the fun things I’ve been doing as we get our Terry bicycle line cranking (no pun intended) again. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a presence in any more than a handful of bike shops and we’re on the way to changing this in 2010. So my competitor analysis […]

The Conservationist in Cyclists

June 14, 2009 By Georgena Leave a Comment

Inside every cyclist, whether she knows it or not, there lurks a conservationist. Indeed, how could this not be the case? Show me the rider who hasn’t developed a keen weather eye. In much the same way, as the miles glide by, so do a panorama of fields, forests and wetlands. Surely you’re aware of […]

The Changing of the Guard

May 14, 2009 By Georgena Leave a Comment

If you haven’t read about it yet, here’s the news: as of April 30, Terry Precision Cycling has a new CEO! I’ve turned over the handlebars to Liz Robert. I’m not going anywhere — I’m President of the company and a shareholder, but I decided it was time for me to get back to basics, […]

Love Those Gloves!

April 14, 2009 By Georgena Leave a Comment

Some people have a drawer full of socks. I have a drawer full of women’s cycling gloves. (OK — I have a drawer full of socks, too.) I just happened to be pawing through that drawer this weekend. One of those weekends when the sun said warm but the 25 mph north wind said spring’s […]

Ride for the Economy

March 7, 2009 By Georgena Leave a Comment

Some welcome warm weather has come to The Salt Lick Known as Rochester. Ah, nothing like riding my bike and smelling Mother Earth instead of ice water. Cardinals and robins are singing and V’s of Canada geese fill the sky. No matter what’s happening in the economy, their world is still sane. And that makes […]

A Chat with Richard Schwinn

February 2, 2009 By Georgena Leave a Comment

Richard Schwinn has had a long and varied history in the bicycle business, starting out as a mechanic in high school and working all around Schwinn Bicycle Company’s Chicago factory, including a stint building Schwinn’s elite Paramounts in the early 70’s. After a period outside the bicycle industry, Richard returned to Schwinn in the late […]

Climate Prediction

January 26, 2009 By Georgena Leave a Comment

Did you think this was going to be about climate change? No, it’s about a website every cyclist should bookmark. I’m referring to NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/610day/fxus06.html These guys deal in the future. In late January, in upstate New York, I’m desperate for a glance at the future. A warmer future. A future that […]
