My road bike found her name yesterday!

[emily_in_nc]

I sometimes name my bikes and sometimes don't, depending on what inspiration strikes. Yesterday, my new-to-me-this-spring Trek Pilot found her name. I was zipping down the bike path and had to stop for a photo with these gorgeous morning glories. It struck me that she is morning-glory blue, or very close to it. In person the colors looked even closer than in the photo.

So, meet Gloria! :)

Very nice!! Great name for a very pretty bike. :D

Oh, very nice. Morning glories were always my favourite as a child. Pretty bike!

Nice way of picking the name!! :)....I had the 9 year old daughter of a friend come up to me and start a conversation about my bike and biking that lasted for around 30 minutes. Her name was Stella so that's that bikes name.

Pretty pictures. I love the blue morning glories. In this area, they are all white for some reason.

Welcome to TE, Gloria!

I'm the same way about naming inanimate objects. Sometimes the name comes to me, sometimes it doesn't.

I'm probably buying a Trek Allant tomorrow, it's a very un-pretty beige... I'm thinking of calling her tapioca. :D

Good morning, Gloria! Pretty!

We have a beige cat named Cappucino, Cappy for short. Alternatively Café au Lait or Latte?

My honey suggested Cafe au Lait, I laughed and said it's just beige. I like Cappy though, great name for a kitty.

I named my blue bike for a flower too! There is a beautiful wildflower called Speedwell (which I thought was appropriate!) and then I discovered the Latin name for the genus was Veronica. So, her name is Veronica Speedwell. I call her Ms. Speedy because she is, and I'm not ...

Great name, azfiddle! I used to grow those flowers back when I had a garden...and a house. :D

I decided today that my mountain bike will be named "Toto" since I bought it (from Catrin!) on the way to Kansas, and it's been my constant companion here; I've ridden it much more than my roadie because of all the bike trails and urban/utility rides we do here.

I also finally found a name for my Ruby. "BlueBell" It's the result of her getting stolen. The police were able to identify the bike and recover it because I'd replaced the white handlebar tape with blue.

Love that name too -- lots of flower names for bikes lately!

She is my therapist! I just feel any anger or frustration melting away when I go out and ride my CC.
