Naming Bikes: Normal or Crazy?

Sandra, LOL!

I think I'll name you the Sweet Potato Queen.

I named my bikes!!
The Specialized Hard Rock is Babe (as in, the blue ox)
the Giant OCR3 is Babette, because it is the diminutive Babe
and the Orbea is the La Nina de Espana. Because that is what she is.

Both of my cats have people names, Annabel Lee (for the Poe poem) and Vladimir (as in the Impaler, although, I think his real full name was Wladislav).

I named my husband's bikes, too, much to his chagrin. (Bevo and the Stormking)

I am THE Sweet Potato Queen wannabe.

Oh I named her that a long time ago.
I have this mental image of Sandra in some small town parade, sitting an one of those old web-type lawn chairs with her tiara and a sash, waving to her subjects from the back of a flat bed pick-up.

You've got it all wrong. It's really more like this.

or THIS? (and yes, that's panties on my haid.)

That's what I pictured.

Road bike - Lavender Menace, yes she's lavender.

Commuter-mobile - Bradley (my LBS calls her the Tour de France bike, 'cause she's bright yellow).

Free wheel - yet to officially be named, has several but not settled on one.

Knott's Giant RS940 - Cedar (she's blue and green).

My LBS jokes that they keep track of their clients in files by first name and name of bike. So the bikes have their name and I'm Trek Trek420 - Mondonico - GT- Motobecane - Giant

I picture your mixte freewheel as some sort of flapper-chickie from the age of prohibition. Little minx haircut, flask of booze in her garter, twinkle in her eye.

Cedar might need reddish brown saddle and grips, so she has the red like the bark of a cedar.
