I just recently got serious about naming my current ride. Her name is Shirley. She's a silver Trek 7300fx with rack, fenders etc., a real pack mule to carry all my stuff.
Her name was selected for two reasons. Here at MU-Vet School, we have had several teams of mules that serve as the Vet school mascots. One set of mules a few years ago were named Jill and Shirley. Since I refer to my bike as my pack mule, she became Shirley. The other reason in corny...I always say she will "surely" get me where I'm going.
My daughter (age 11) just got a new bike (light blue Trek 7.2fx) I'm trying to talk her in to naming the new bike Laverne so we can have Laverne and Shirley. She doesn't see the humor!
