I hadn't named my touring bike, but when I got my Bianchi Veloce I named her Professor Sprout. Then the touring bike--deep forest green in color--decided SHE wanted to be Professor Sprout, so now the Bianchi is Stella. Jeeeez!

I, too, tend to hear the Wicked Witch's theme from the Wizard of Oz in my head when I'm riding--mostly when I'm flying down a long hill. Climbing, all I hear are my muscles yelling at me--"Stoppppppp!"
