    Beautiful bike! Enjoy!!!!

    I know the glow.

    I'm still trying to think of names for both my 2 year old Rivendell AND my new Luna! So hard to do!

    Gorgeous bike! I rode one when I was on my bike search and it had a heavenly ride. I remember when I first got on it, it felt so light it was almost like there wasn't even a bike there. I vote for Madison. A little more regal than Maddie for a classy bike!

    Sad thing is, I'm a teacher and I have negative connections to a number of names. Makes it's hard to name your kid too.

    My husband and I had that VERY discussion when we talked about kids. We ended up not having any in the long run, but naming one may have been close to impossible! As he liked to put it, if we had a girl, "it won't matter anyway -- she's not leaving the house until she is 18!". There ya go -- good thing we stuck to pets only!

    I had to catch my breath when I saw your bike...she's that gorgeous! You chose well.

    May you have many, many happy km's together.

    What size is she?

    Thank you!! I want to bring her up into the living room so I can just look at her. She's 47cm.

    My mom is a preschool teacher. She didn't have many aversions to girl names (lucky since she has two daughters) but she's said many times that she would have had a very hard time if she had a son !

    Ooh! 47cm!! MY SIZE!!!

    My new bike stayed in the livingroom for about a month when I got her. I think a little living room time is vital for proper socialization of the new family member.

    I like Maddie. I have a niece named Madison and she goes by Maddie. She's a very good girl and accels at most everything. So to me Maddie is a very positive name.

    My new bike is Fiona. She just told me one day after I'd had her about a month.

    You should have seen yesterday after our first ride. I got caught in a downpour and she got all muddy. Had to clean her up already!

    I totally understand! My three darlings are named quite eccentrically.
    Little Wing
    Portia
    Bif

    Luckily, I've never met any kids with these names!! (I know of 2 famous adults, but I've only gotten an autograph from one of them....)

    Happy butterflies to you and your Miss Divine (or whatever you decide to name her). Enjoy!

    The butterflies are within you.
