Has your bike got a nickname?

Also I always want to refer to my bike as "she" but I don't know if that's weird. Mine is definitely female but you can have both in French, la bicyclette (f) or le vélo (m).

The Cross-Check is 'Erik', the Genesis Equilibrium is 'Roger' (after the DeVlaeminck brothers - one's a cross bike and one's a road bike). The Raleigh is 'Walter' and my old 90's Trek MTB is 'The Beast'

It's not weird, if you think about it a captain of a ship says steady as she goes and I often refer to my car as she I.e she needs fuel or she is due for a service

No nickname, but they are definitely female I think because they are all a thing of beauty.

1 female, 2 male and one gender neutral. Just keeping up with demographics.

My Felt is called Carol Vorderman.

Both mine do, but in my defence it was my 8yr old daughter that bestowed them with such monikers, not me....

Brompton and I haven't got a name for the fifth bike yet.

 

[CanucksTraveller]

My wife calls her white Giant Defy "Gina". Endearing in a way.

I think blokes tend towards the less emotional, I just refer to my bikes as "the TCR" or "the Trek", or "the road bike" or "the hybrid".

Rufus is my Sublime and Gabby is my Specialized.

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

Yes, but I'm keeping it to myself.
