Yep, Lightning is her name. I'm a nascar fan and by coincidence, my Trek bike is black and white (like a checkered flag). Lightning is the name of the lead "car" in the Pixar movie "Cars."

I'm convinced it works, because on our first ride, we attempted the hardest hill in our local ride. Halfway up, I said, "Lightning, get me up this hill." We made it! It stuck.
