Personalise your bike - give it a gender and personal name

[Pikey]

The aluminium falcon, aka princess carmen cos she's the summer bike and too posh for mud, rain or not being gloss white at all times.

Plus her stable mate,
The night hawk, aka Katie cos she is the beast that does what the other bike doesn't...

Oh dear. Just had a meeting with Terry the Toaster and Cyril the Coffee Pot. All sorted now. Just need to turn on Delilah the Dishwasher.

Why are the toaster and coffee pot males and the dishwasher female??? Why, why, why, Delilah. (Suspect that I may have started something here.)

Is Delilah the Dyson?

If I'm heading into the hills or to a trail centre for a bit of rough stuff I take 'The GT'. For the commute to work laden with panniers and requiring guards I usually take 'The GT' and when going out for a fast, long distance summer ride with mates I might get out 'The GT' for a change

3 very different bikes for 3 different uses but really only one tag......

Funnily enough, I met him a while back.

I always mean to give them names, but they never stick and they just get called "the Cannondale", "the Brian Rourke" etc.

 

[buggi]

both mine are male. Tron... due to the reflective wheels and bits, is my sturdy workhorse. Bullet is my carbon stallion.

 

[buggi]

my car on the other hand is a girl. Luna 9. So named because my previous (male) car was Sputnik.

I'm not sure about how a bike gets to have a gender but I'm sure a few here think their wives are on Planet-X.

 

[mcshroom]

My bikes get lots of names, usually when I'm climbing a big hill or when they break down. Probably best not to repeat them on a family forum though

Not knowing a lot about Planet -X I did some research on a Planet-X website . It seems that it is probably a brown dwarf.

Hurrah! It's time for my favourite joke again, for the the first time this year.

You should never anthropomorphise inanimate objects, they do not like it.
