Announcement: Name Change

[DebW]

After having ridden my new-ish Bianchi Veloce for a while, I've learned that she really prefers to go by Stella. So what else can I do, but call her by her true name? So Stella she is.

So then, not to be upstaged by this upstart, my trusty Waterford, previously named Bad JuJu, started lobbying for a new name. She chose the now- untenanted Professor Sprout, since it really fits her much better than, as she put it, "that fussy princess of a Bianchi."

I just reread "The naming of bikes" poem by KnottedYet (http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showt...hlight=naming). If the bikes told you their names, are these Type 3 names? And why did they divulge them? Do they keep any secrets from you?

Hmmm, I wonder what they talk about when I'm not around? Maybe they just had to learn to trust me before coming clean with their REAL names.

Regina, I remember that old rule about not changing a boat's name for fear of bad luck. And yes, I've been swapping saddle bags and mini-tools on the two bikes, so maybe that will throw the bad bike-name-change demons off the scent.

Finally, yeah--I need to just get over it and go out for a ride. On which bike???

I think you should just change the names to what you like and don't worry about it. We're supposed to be having fun, right?

I named my blue bike Bleuette when I got it, but it hasn't felt right somehow. So I've been planning to rename him. Just haven't found the right name yet! It'll come eventually...

I named my black Surly Pacer road bike Ruffian, after the famous race horse from the early 1970s. But my bike is not tall nor fast, like the race horse was. But I haven't thought of another name for it yet. Any suggestions?

My sage green Surly Long Haul Trucker is named Camion, after a horse I knew, and it means truck in French. But one time on a climb I started calling the slow, stout little green bike "Turtle."
