Having a slow day today...brain not working

so was wondering do you guys name your bikes?

Type of bike, gender and name:

I'll start it off -

1. Dolan Precursa fixed- Alize - female
2. Ribble Ribelle carbon fibre - Kilner - male
3. Specialized Crossroad elite hybrid - Aveline - female
4. Red steel heavy folder - Dylan (doesn't go out much these days but I'm sentimental about him) - male
5. Giant SCR3 roadbike- Jed 'Mr Bike' - male

bikes that have since flown the roost:

Kristof - white fixed bike, male- sold to a friend
Cai - Specialized Ruby Elite carbon fibre bike, female- stolen by thieves
Kember - Specialized Ruby Elite carbon fibre, female - stolen by thieves

Complete with personalities and everything...:thumbsup:

so what are your pride and joys called?

:thumbsup: Thanks! OK, one's called Descartes and the other, Dell.

Dell I chose because it is PC so to do, and Descartes I use for running around town. It's useless in country lanes because of the problems encountered when equine riders are clippety cloppetey-ing along...
...any fule kno you can't put Descartes before the horse.

My blue bike
My black bike

Both are often referred to as 'my other bike', unless the white bike gets a mention, of course.


Hang on, hang on 'Teef what's this? Trying to keep your screet cred with the no-names crew?

check out your sig line - that's the name of your blue bike right? Veneto...AHAH! It just happens to coincide with the frame...though bit unimaginative for you - it'd be like calling your bike Specialized or Trek :thumbsup:
