    Okay, I did it. Ya'll convinced me that my ride needs a name. I can't call her "her" forever. lol So, I texted with my dh about it and he gave me the perfect name that suits her. Hidalga. I'd call her Hidalgo but since she's a girlie girl then I had to make it more feminine. She gutted it out with me the past couple of weeks up a steep 1 mile hill (10-16% grade) and so she's a tough gal. Not saying it was anything pretty, me going up that hill. But we got up it together after awhile. We're going to keep practicing that hill until I can do it without taking a break, too! LOL

    naming our rides

    Between my daughters and myself we have 6 bikes and each has a name. We started naming inanimate objects starting with my first new car. Anyway here is a rundown.

    Daughter Olivia: Specialized hard rock 24" = Bubbles
    Daughter Maxime: Gary Fisher Piranha = Nemo
    Daughter Maxime: Townie cruiser = Townie
    Mom: Santa Cruz Superlight = Pip
    Mom: Specialized Cirrus Pro = Milly
    Mom and Maxime: Crapped out Huffy Cruiser = Crusty

    Each name has a story but that would be entirely too long a response.
    Of course we name them! They play an important role in our lives for fun, health, school transport and grocery schlepping.

    BTW, the Honda Element is "Julius"

    My bike is a Bianchi, so I call her "B." I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has named my bike! I'm looking forward to many adventures with my new friend!

    LOL! My Element is called the Estrogen Express because it's usually just me and the dogs, Kali and Niki.
