    Bikes aren't alive?!

    For me, it's a matter of having spent so much time with the darn thing, it seems to have a personality even if it doesn't. I definitely anthropomorphize my bike beyond naming it, too; I think "Here we are" when we arrive somewhere (even when I'm alone), and I imagine she gets lonely if I don't ride for a few days, and of course I give them gender.

    Specialized Hard Rock-turned-Xtracycle: Charlotte (the paradox of a delicate name with this monster of a bike appeals to me)
    Seven Ti road bike: Artemis

    Never give up. Never surrender.

    I'd probably never call my bikes by their names out loud, especially at the lbs, but they are named. My red steel bike is Puddin', and my white bike is Arrow.
