This is really interesting! And I guess it's just a black or white thing, I love my bikes, they're pretty and I like to go fast (ummm... faster than walking at least), but they are just bikes.

So do you say things like, "I feel like going fast today, I'm taking Mike!", or "Bessie's better with hills." ?

I must admit, I DO talk to my plants, they're all named "Plantie."

One more question-Male or female? Seems like most are referred to as "she", but Smurf's latest is a boy (which got me thinking about all of this), Andtckrtoo has a Mike. How do I tell the sex of my bikes?
