Bike names - Suggestions please

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

Rein it in, teef. Stop being a 'mare or I'll have to pommel you for saddling us with such guff. Giddy up, son, before things get unstable.

(good work on the palomino, though, that impressed me. )

How about Persephone? Queen of the Underworld who (inadvertently) controls the seasons...

Freerein (or FreeRayne)
Rayne Man
Roupi (the ForEx abbr. is SCR)

Years ago when i put my 1st MTB together, i was wondering what to adorn the tubes with. I'd stripped the frame down and sprayed it fluorescent orange which faded to fluorescent red at the back.

al my friends had things like Karakoram, Lakeside & Stumpjumper on their 'proper' bikes. Mine ended up with a Radion logo on the front of the stem and Biological Automatic Washing Powder on the tubes.

my advice, stick your tongue in your cheek, then decide.

Feronia, Roman goddess of freedom?

Felicitas, Roman goddess of success?

Wayne. Or Waynetta. (Do you know what sex it is yet?)

Following on that theme - name it after one of their offspring......

Spudulika (it's exotic!)

The black one
The grey one (tundra grey not white)
The road bike

Oh Neigh Neigh Neigh !

I never fitted the clopless pedals they were a bit 'tack' ee...

Oh how we laughed.

Thanks for the replies.

As is often the case, it's the off topic posts that make me laugh.

I had to get the order in today - and I'm sorry to say that the bike will have my name on it.

BUT BUT,

I have found a site selling custom plastic stickers - so it can be called anything in the short term, but underneath it all will be something that I can't tire off, but for importantly can't ever be removed.

How about Lorilei ?
The siren of the river Rhein (or is that Rayne)

Or named after that other famous Spencer, Lady Rayne Spencer, known by her step childern Charles and Diana as 'Acid Rain', depending on the colour, 'Acid' could be quite a good name

As someone who had never cycled untill earlier this year I contemplated bike names after I signed up to do a London to Paris bike ride in the September though I did think it might be a bit of a girly thing to do . I thought this one might be apt " BAIARD: Old French name derived from the word baiard, meaning "foolhardy." In medieval romances, this was the name of a magic horse from the legends of the chansons de geste ("Songs of Heroic Deeds")

Thinking my enterpise may have been foolhardy but that I did manage to make it was a little bit of an an heroic deed.


This being said I got a different bike part way through the training and now they are called the slow one and the faster one .


In fact I am rather worried about them as they are in a neighbours garage as my brother who I care for has broken his arm gving him an extra disability so a hospital bed in the lounge has taken up the bicycle space .

I advise D-locking your brother to some railings and getting your bikes inside for some TLC Jacqui!
Hope he's on the mend soon enough, and I think I fancy a bike with 'baiard' emblazoned. Foolhardy seems so apt!

At the beginning of the snow - on that very first day, we picked up our Thorn Nomad's for our trip next year.

They are to be known as "Original Cindy" (from Dark Angel) or "Chiana" (still undecided, but probably the former) and "Aeryn Sun" from Farscape. We couldn't think of 2 better characters to sit on for an extended length of time!

We never named our mountain bikes.

You could call it ALARM FITTED.

I find it difficult to find names for my bikes. I have just got Bacchetta Giro 26, a red one and have called it "Simply Red". It goes together with Big Red and Little Red.

What's the website? Might be useful to know about - even for non-cycling related things!
