Been done a few times before.

But.. anyway

No. It's either the Van Nick, the Pinnacle or the Raleigh.

It's a bit strange giving something like a bike a name imvho

Bianchi = Bianca (obviously)
Mango = Number 5 (see what I did there?)
Dawes = Diana (and there)
Apollo = Cedric (no idea why)

 

[Markymark]

No as I'm a grown up.

I have been known to call mine the "Fourth Baby" My 3 kids think I should just marry it and be done..... Not 100% sure my boyfriend believes me when I tell him I love him more than my bike lol

Converted touring bike for commuting duties weighing in at 18kg without me stacking the pannier with lunch, spare kit and other miscellaneous items

Sometimes 'The Beast' when there is a head wind I have been known to use other less pleasant words.

They all have names. Some of us just prefer to call them something a bit friendlier than "Cannondale CAAD12 105 5 Disc 2016 Road Bike" or "Fahrrad Manufaktur S300"

When they break, I usually give them a few names.

One of my bikes does have the nickname "Old Faithless" or "Old Feckless" after it broke down about 20 metres into a group ride, necessitating an abandon and limp back to the shed.

The bikes in mine and Mrs SG's fleet all have names as it is easier and quicker to discuss exactly which bike is being referred to.

We could do it by brand name, as they are all different but short names work better.

Doesn't hurt to start again for newbies and those (like me) who've been away.....
