I've never had much luck coming up with bike names - although I've tried. I have enough trouble naming pets.

When I talk to my road bike in my head...... what? Doesn't everyone do that? I think of her (to her?) as Bikey-Poo. She hates that. I can't help it - it just slips out. Then I apologize (still in my head). I need to come up with something better.

My mountain bike, well, I'm considering Crusher, or Killer, or maybe Charlie (Manson). He broke my ankle last summer, and last week he dumped me off on a pile of big, sharp mine rock. Bruises and scrapes, including on my ankle bone, right on top of the metal plate, plus a nice cut across my wrist that makes me realize that it IS trying to kill me, and trying to make it look like suicide.

The touring bike..... I got nuthin'
