For over 40 years, Terry Cycling has been committed to making cycling more accessible for women. For us, that means designing and manufacturing technical apparel, saddles and accessories that prioritize comfort, safety, and style, and doing it with integrity. Throughout our history, we have proudly manufactured many of our products in the United States and we are unique in still having much of our production made here. Innovation comes from all parts of the globe, and so do the unique materials and product lines that shape our niche business.
Earlier this year, Terry became one of several small businesses to legally challenge the unilateral imposition of tariffs by the current administration. On May 28, 2025, the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled in our favor in a case challenging tariffs imposed under the Trump administration. The court granted summary judgment, finding that the tariffs exceeded presidential authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
The ruling struck down all the IEEPA tariffs:
- A 25% tariff on most imports from Mexico and Canada
- A 20% tariff on goods from China
- A general 10% tariff on imports from all U.S. trading partners
- Additional “retaliatory” tariffs up to 50% targeting 57 specific countries
These tariffs significantly increased costs for companies like ours that depend on a mix of domestic and global suppliers.
This decision by the U.S. Court of International Trade is a turning point. Not just for us, but for countless small manufacturers trying to compete while staying true to their values and needs of customers. The now-vacated tariffs disrupted our supply chains, added costs, and forced us into months of defensive planning. We had to source new raw materials, rework long-standing partnerships, and test production strategies that pulled us away from what matters most. It was a complete distraction, with no benefit to the rider, for us to spend time knocking ourselves off just to stay afloat.
This ruling allows us to get back to what we do best: supporting women in cycling, investing in innovation, and planning for the future with confidence. It gives businesses like ours the space to operate without being penalized for sourcing smartly or manufacturing ethically.
We’re grateful for the support of our board, the Flagg Bicycle Group, and Liberty Justice Center, and we are proud to have played a role in standing up for small businesses. This isn’t just a win for Terry. It’s a win for the cycling industry and the communities we serve.

I am so proud to be a long time customer of Terry Cycling; once again you are a leader for women, women’s health and recreation, and small businesses. With a congress that no longer acts as an independent branch of government, the people have to speak up and speak out through the courts.Resistance to tyranny depends on the public using their voice collectively and I congratulate Terry Cycling for taking this courageous step to join the lawsuit.
