Ok, you never said, referring to a car or bike "she's a beauty"?Nope, not just you. I'm the same.
It's downright weird calling inanimate objects him or her.
Seems to be quite a popular expression in English

Isn't there an Italian equivalent to the French le vélo?Exactly! I'm from Italy
Mind, all but one of my biciclette (la bicicletta, feminine) have male names
well you really picked a prime time to get a bike - its wet cold dark and bloody horrible - hang on till the sun shines and its warm and lovely - then it might be more appealing.
you could get a turbo for the bike, bang on the headphones with some heavy metal and pedal like buggery - you can go for 5minutes or 2 hours and then dive in the shower , no cold , no wet , no unheathy bending.
that or sell it and buy and extra long season in the local brothel.
Wot? La gazzetta dello sport? It's a pink sports paper: honest, the pages are pink(ish).Isn't there an Italian equivalent to the French le vélo?
No, I was thinking that the French can have le vélo or la bicyclette, I was wondering whether there was a masculine form in Italian.Wot? La gazzetta dello sport? It's a pink sports paper: honest, the pages are pink(ish).

Don't anthropomorphise inanimate objects, they don't like it.

You could be right, however I do not know what a disc world is.
