===== Terranaut =====

Donald Humphries co-founded [[https://www.touringcyclist.com|The Touring Cyclist]] group of bike shops and touring company with Carol Boedeker in 1973 in the St. Louis area of Missouri.
The Terranaut house brand sold alongside [[fuji:start|Fuji]], [[trek:start|Trek]] and [[marukin:start|Marukin]].  Starting in 1983, the Terranaut Wanderer MTB was introduced and it wouldn't be until 2005 that Terranaut branded another mountain bike, other than some near mtb hybrids.
