I like that. It sounds much nicer than "crazy."that's normal.

Good Lordy, I hope not, mine are all named. AND my cycling buddies refer to them by name:
My XC racer is Gidget, small and fiesty
My all mt bike- Bob- tough, dependable, can take a hit
My city bike- Bluebell-she wants to be urban, but just can quite get there...
My new road bike is yet unamed....
The DH has:
Babe, the great blue ox
His new 29er is Gandalf the grey.....Last edited by rocknrollgirl; 03-11-2008 at 01:50 PM.

Are you sure crazy and normal are mutually exclusive? Originally Posted by Trek420

Of course!
DH and I have, at last count, 6 functional bikes between us. So we need some way to tell them apart in conversation!
My bikes:
Dark pinkish steel Bianchi road bike- "Ruby"
Bright red steel Nishiki commuter- "The Brick"
Black Cannondale hardtail- "Bean"
DH's bikes:
White steel Specialized Allez- "Alley Cat" or "Cat" for short
Cream-colored aluminum commuter- I don't know if this has a name- he just built it.
Black Cannondale hardtail- "Angus"
We name our pets, why not our bikes?

Some of mine have names - some don't.
My Cannondale Road bike is Blueberry.
My Surly Cross Check has simply been dubbed Surly Girl.
Still waiting for my Trek 520 and Bike Friday to speak to me
Tandem isn't named either...
