My amazing hybrid (Joey) & his Vittoria Randonneur tyres!

[Sellyb]

Joey really had to discover the mountain bike side of his hybrid personality today, as he learnt to swim. Roads had become rivers with all sorts floating in them, and what's with all the hills, previously undiscovered, that I'm finding around my area! We managed to get lost, it was a big mistake going out but very exciting! I have to give a gold star to the Vittoria Randonneur tyres too! Amayyzzzing how they didn't puncture, and how they gripped the road, through the flood water..brilliant! Poor Joey!
Thank goodness I didn't take Scott the roady, he would never have coped...bless him!

It's like Thomas the Tank Engine but with bikes.

Glad I'm not the only person who gives my bikes a personality, nice post.

The only name I've given to a bike is the 'Lethal Impact' retro road bike I'm restoring. It's got the name because it tried to kill it's two previous owners, the last who gave it to me.

It's now got a 'Gios' badge, because there's no ID on it. However, I'm going to get 'Lethal Impact' printed up for it somewhere.

I remember Thomas the Tank Engine, goodness I'm showing my age! Loving the Lethal Impact too! Come on more bikes with names please, let's start something!! Let's start a Cyclechat name game!

I would never give my bikes a name, "ABBA-1 " would hate it if I called "ABBA-2" a name
ABBA = A to B then B back to A

What I sometimes call my bike would be unrepeatable on a family friendly forum.

One of the very lovely CC,ers named my Cube " Blaze of Glory " or affectionately " Blaze " Nothing to do with the Bon Jovi song I may add ....

I think they should start to be named on any entry forms, especially as they do half the work!

My CAAD10 is called Rihanna becasue she's beautiful and she's black

I haven't named my Ribble commuter as it's a just a bike

I was lucky coz Maggie (my hybrid) went out on Monday afternoon, when it was dry and sunny ;-)
