The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Yep, I love my bike... It usually hangs out in the living room right next to the piano while I'm teaching lessons! I think my piano students find it bizarre...

Our bikes are either in the breakfast nook or in the living room! I love my bike but since I think it looks like an exploded orange pinata, I look at it as a whole rather than the color.

My roommate and I split a 500 sq-ft 1-br apartment (I sleep in what they call the "living room" in the apt. description!!) and between the two of us we have 8 bikes. So we're pretty much staring at them all the time.
My bikes usually live in my room, so I stare at them a lot (his bikes live 2 in the hallway, stacked, and 2 in the back entry, stacked, because he got stuck with the smaller room. we have two non-functioning old commuters in the dead-door stairway down the back).
But yes-- especially when one of my bikes is up in the workstand (in the middle of the kitchen) I'll sit and stare at it for a while. The mtb even more so after a cleaning... I'll sit and think "wow, it looks like a whole new bike now!" Plus it's in the stand more often!
And I definitely talk to them. Even his bikes, which don't have names (well, I've named them-- much to his annoyment
). When I have to move one without riding it, when I have to take the wheel off to put it in the car, if i'm taking one for a ride and not the other, etc etc etc

Yeah I can't help it anymore. i don't know what to do. It isn't even riding the bike and I get all happy.
I have to go. I just polished it up with some armorall wipes. I have to stare at it some more.

Since Silver is unlikely to respond, I'll tell on her.
I bought her Madone while she was in the hospital following her wreck. It sat in the family room for about three months while she was unable to ride!
Now, my Saris bike rack is not good enough...her bike must ride in the car!
I don't think she's named it though
Hmmmm...I wonder who she loves more?
