My DH calls me Blondie - that doesn't have anything to do with biking, though. He also will refer to me as a bomb (babe on mountain bike) or a bob (babe on bike). My Santa Cruz mtb has my online nick on it "the Little B!tch That Could". And a lot of people, including cycling buds, call me "T". These all really beat "Shorty" and "Spaz" that I enjoyed in high school.
Oh, there was a ride we did once when we were in another town and did a ride with a friend of a friend - he was a fit fast climber and *he* called *me* a HammerHead.I *loved* that!

I don't have a nickname per se, but one of my riding buddies and I call each other "Girlsteiner" which is a play off of Gerolsteiner's cycling team. We started using "Girlsteiner" as code for our, um, private parts when we went over a rough patch of road and it morphed from there. Silly, I know but it still cracks us up.
My non cycling nicknames are Kick (which is what I called myself when I was little) and Diddler, which morphed from Katydid (my real name is Kate) when I was in college. Try explaining that one!Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

OK, I wasn't gonna chime in with my embarrassing nickname for the world to see on the web, but after reading that one, mine is nothing!

Since I dressed up as Pippi Longstocking for halloween everyone's been calling me Pippi or Pip.
Otherwise "trouble" has always followed me through the years. Not the action, but everyone seems to think I am.
