5 Questions for Georgena Terry | Bikeleague.org
You were the first to design a bike that addressed the comfort of women riders; how quickly did that catch on?
In 1985, I took five bikes, a full size range, to the Great Eastern Rally and women started walking up to me saying, “What do you mean you have bikes made for women? What’s
the big deal?” But once they test rode them I started selling those bikes before the booth officially opened. I recently had the pleasure of seeing one of those original bikes at the Wild Goose Chase ride. The woman was so excited to show it to me; she even had her original bill of sale with her!What are some of your proudest moments?
Starting a damn industry [laugh]! I’m dead serious! Nobody comes out and says that but, my God, if I hadn’t started this do you think all the other manufacturers would be making women’s bikes? That’s my proudest moment!
