strange question

[madscot13]

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?

I love my bikes, they are on a wall stand in the living room; I refer to them as the 'artwork'

In an effort to become one with my bike I recently brought it into my bedroom.
I think it worked.

Silver - LOL

I love my bike - and yes, I do talk to her & love to look at her. She just yesterday got new wheels & hubs & now I think she's perfect (for me). When I am not riding, she stays in our den/exercise room, near the trainer. When I walk by the door I almost always say, "Hi Godiva" or "Good morning/good night".... She is my baby....I have four furry ones, Godiva and.....oh yeah, my SO

Well, my bike's name is Fred. For good reason. He is a GREAT bike, and I love him. I take good care of him, and he reciprocates.

But...

Although I love Fred, I have never been in love with him. I have lately found myself looking at a lot of internet pictures of other, more beautiful bikes. I keep telling myself I would like to get a beautiful playmate for Fred, maybe one named Ruby or Diva, but who am I kidding? Fred would become my rain bike.

Starfish,

All these years we've been together and it's come to this!?
How could you just put me out in the rain like that?
Haven't I been good to you?
Remember all those great times we had together?
I'm hurt.
Please baby please! Those others are all flash and no substance.
If you don't love me someone else will.

Sincerely,
Fred

oh my goodness! my first bike's name is Fred, too!

I ended up getting him two playmates-- Lucy and Grace (mtb and road bike, respectively). And yes, Fred has become my rain/ ride-to-class bike.

BUT-- a friend of mine recently wanted to buy Fred, as her first road bike. And I just couldn't do it. I couldn't part with Fred. Too many memories/ miles.

And quite frankly, his life is still pretty darned good: he lives inside (how many commuters get to say that??), he has two gorgeous girlfriends (Lucy and Grace), and he probably gets ridden the most out of any of the bikes (being a commuter)!

Fred, Fred...you will always live indoors when I'm not trusting you to carry me safely through the rain, and we'll watch a lot of late night movies on the trainer together! Those others can never replace you! But, who are we kidding...you finding someone else? Not without opposable thumbs! (No phone calls, no garage door openers...)
