Do you talk to your bike? (Or again, am I just crazy????)("Hello, dah-ling, would you like to go for a spin?") No name for my bike, though.

Just named her "Speedbump."
And I've been promising her all week that I won't lay her down on the street again for a while.
Best regards,

I call my main road bike "Black Beauty" and all three bikes are sometimes referred to as "she."
I DO talk to my bikes! I frequently praise Black Beauty and if I have neglected her as I see her sitting in the basement waiting I promise her that we will go out soon. If I take a different bike out I may tell BB "Don't worry, you're still no. 1 and I'll take you next time."
Ok, I am crazy.

I talk to the bike & my legs up really hard hills.
Or I cuss out the bf who is usually the person who talked me into going up them.
It makes the hills go by faster.

Wow. Some real creative brains here. Originally Posted by gnat23

Does your bike have a name?
Which one? Ernie, Ashley, MaryKate, BabyBlue, or the others that just go by their model names?For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.
