Do you name your bikes?

[Aggie_Ama]

I'm one that doesn't really name things that don't have a heartbeat, but I do plan on naming all my bikes (I have three...going to be four soon, but that one's a very old, used bike for my trainer only). I found a name for my Orbea Onix...she's Carrie, a little flighty and a chick that gets around, but she's totally loyal to her friends (ie. ME!). I haven't gotten around to riding my MTB or my hybrid enough to get a 'feel' for names, but that'll come by summer time I'm sure

My road bike is Miranda! SATC? Somedays I need a stern but caring voice to tell me I can do something. Plus she seems like she would be a spitfire. I name my bikes and my cars. My mountain bike is Tess because it is a Scott Contessa and she is small and nimble. My former roadie was Fiona, after the princess in Shrek. A bit of a pain but a heart of gold. DH embraces it and calls them by name.

DH's are the Cannondale (roadie), the Stumpy or the mountain bike (mtn Stumpjumper) and the Kona or the commuter or the cyclocross. But the Kona came with a name- Jake. So he doesn't name them.

I named our truck Clifford which had my brother howling. Our truck is Dodge Ram Quad Cab in red. It doesn't fit in the garage. Clifford the big red dog never fit in his house.
