Cycling Destination – Camp Santanoni, NY

November 28, 2022 By Alysia Catalfamo 4 Comments

In August, we biked 9.8 miles to Great Camp Santanoni in New York’s Adirondack Park, and it was a really fun experience. It’s the most unique historic site I’ve ever been to because it’s been left in pretty much the same condition that it was in when it was sold to New York State, besides […]

TOURING ON THE DOWN-LOW – A CLOSER LOOK AT THE BUTTERFLY BIKE.

January 3, 2020 By Colin D. Leave a Comment

Asked to picture the perfect touring bike, most cyclists would imagine some variation of a sleek, wide-geared machine with lots of braze-ons for fenders, lights and racks, beautiful, immaculate paint, glistening chrome and satin alloy details.

Our friend Sara Dykman, who shared her amazing adventure of following the monarch butterfly migration by bike, has other ideas.

Her custom built bike has proven itself over tens of thousands of miles of every kind of terrain, but her long distance hauler doesn’t look anything like a state of the art touring bike. As it turns out, that’s the point…

CYCLING DESTINATION: BIKEMAINE GOES MID-COAST.

October 4, 2019 By Colin D. Leave a Comment

Terry customer Debra Hoover, and her husband, Charlie, recently completed a week’s tour through some of Maine’s most interesting cycling country. The BikeMaine event is now an early Fall tradition, each year exploring a different part of a state with very diverse regions. This year the tour centered on Maine’s mid-coast region, with a loop encompassing the valley where the state’s organic farming tradition took root, and plenty of picturesque Down-East coastal villages.

DISCOVERING A CAR-FREE HIGHWAY IN OREGON.

September 6, 2019 By Alysia Catalfamo Leave a Comment

The Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail in Oregon is a paved trail with a fascinating history. Built from 1913 to 1922 it was the first major paved highway in the Pacific Northwest and the first scenic highway constructed in the United States. Modeled after the great scenic roads of Europe, it was designed for a public who wanted to enjoy nature’s beauty from their Model T. With a maximum of 5% grades and 200ft turning radius it’s really a delight to bike.
