Georgena Terry

[Sylvia]

Georgena's name comes up occasionally on this forum, so I thought some of you might enjoy this really cool video that was done about her.

Geez, don't DO that!!
Whenever an email gets sent around a work with a person's name as the subject line, it usually means they died! This kinda freaked me out.
Okay.
Steel myself. Will watch vid.

Oops, Sorry about that. I thought it was a really cool video.

I thought the same, 7rider! Have gotten too many sad and/or shocking emails of the type you mention. I have learned to always add to the subject line something like "Georgena Terry video" rather than ever putting just a person's name in as the subject.

I watched the great video once my heart started beating again. Thanks for posting the link, Sylvia. Georgena is my hero. Both my mother and I ride Terrys. Mine is a vintage frame with updated components. Mom's semi-custom bike was built for her last spring. Neither of us had ever been comfortable on road bikes until we found Terrys. So glad that Georgena persevered. It's always fun to learn a little more about her story.

Looks like I can't change the original post title or delete it and repost with a new title, but Georgena is quite alive and well.

I think she is just a really cool person and it comes across in this video.

Thanks for the posting. She has surely played a major part in the bicycle manufacturers in considering our geometries. What an example! I see in the video that she is walking with some impairment - what does she have? I suppose this is why she does not have almost a full extension on her pedal stroke. After watching this, all I know is that I cannot measure up to her!

She had polio when she was about 2 years old which affects her left leg, so the vast majority of her power ( I think she told me 80 or 90%) comes from her right leg. She just finished 2011 with 6,000 miles on her bike which just impresses the heck out me.
