Do you name your bikes?

Yep, Lightning is her name. I'm a nascar fan and by coincidence, my Trek bike is black and white (like a checkered flag). Lightning is the name of the lead "car" in the Pixar movie "Cars."

I'm convinced it works, because on our first ride, we attempted the hardest hill in our local ride. Halfway up, I said, "Lightning, get me up this hill." We made it! It stuck.

My Giant's name is Dora Dempsey. I've no idea why. It just works.

My Litespeed really screamed male. So, his name is Mojito. Because he makes me feel like I have a little mojo. And he is hot!

I've tried and nothing ever seems to stick! Wait-- scratch that. I did name my former mountain bike Super Taylor. I do decorate my bikes as well. I painted Super Taylor on my top tube like so:

I tried. I like my bikes A LOT, but just couldn't name them. Nor do I think of them as "him" or "her"...my SO is so funny about his bikes. He doesn't name them (or at least he has not admitted to it) but he calls the road bike "him" and the mountain bike "her"...not always consistently.

Just a couple of weeks ago, the name Rhoda came to me for my bike. I'm not sure why, but Rhoda reminds me of red and my C'dale Synapse is the color "Roarange" (Red/orange).

My mini cooper is named Max (DH even calls him that now)
