Bike names - Suggestions please

[scraynes]

Evening all,

I'm just a bout to order a lovely Koga Miyata - something I've been wanting to do for a few years now.

During all the dreaming, I've not considered what to call it - a name can be placed on the top tube - which is nice.

I've obviously considered putting my name on it, but I don't really like that - the idea that is, not my name.

So I'm hoping that there's someone out there with more imagination than me.

The theme I'll looking for is along the lines of:

Freedom
boundless travel
self-sufficient
flexible

All the wonderful virtues of cycle touring. The bike will be spending most of its life in France - so I'm open to French phrases also.

Many thanks - and get brain storming..

Spencer

I can't be bothered with all this romanticising of bikes, mine are;
The Ribble, The Boardman, The Galaxy, The hybrid (or the black one) and The other one.
After all....it's just a bike!

pick a the name of a character from a particular play, or opera, or film, or novel whose qualities you seek in the bike. I have a bike called Lucia

How about 'Velo sipid Car bon'

I've Renault of ideas...

Mine is even more straight-forward, because no-one else in my family could tell a Ribble from a Galaxy.

I have the black one, the white one, the silver one, the old one and the very old one (a.k.a. "The Racer").

Spencer,

Take a look at this site re your 'other' problem in my guestbook on CGOAB. I found it the other day and think it looks the dogs.

Good luck with naming your bike by the way....Mines named after the winged horse 'Pegasus'

Mines named after the winged horse 'Pegasus'

Benefits from clip-clopless peddles... Nice name for your mane bike. I knew a bloke who named his bike after a horse - he was no pal o min
