    Bike names

    I describe my bikes as "the recumbent" and "the upright," so they aren't really names, even though I'm fond of both of them. I used to play the guitar a lot more often than I have in recent years, and got a used Martin D-35 twelve string. Very beautiful guitar. I used to call him Martin, and referred to him in the masculine gender.

    I named a friend's bike last week! We dug her mountain bikes out of the garage. After a ride through town, we stopped at Bubba Gump's restaurant for lunch. I bought a tiny stuffed shrimp and hooked it to the handlebars. His name is Bubba Shrimp The next day I switched to a different bike. She asked it the shrimp needed to be moved over--nope the name can't be transferred!
