    I named my husband's bikes for him:

    The Cannondale (his roadie). I also have a Cannondale but since his took the name I call mine Miranda.

    The Stumpy or just Stumpy. His Specialized Stumpjumper FSR.

    Jake or The Kona. His Kona Jake Cyclocross bike.

    When talking about my bikes to people I call them "my Cannondale", "the Fisher" or "my hardtail". Like they will just follow along with that.

    I call my 2010 Trek FX 7.5 Fredie for faded red. My Dolce Sport is just Dolce.

    Ole Clemmy...

    I've only named my fixed gear Peugeot mixte. She's Clementine. My sassy, purple little beaut. I have yet to find names for my roadie and mtn bike.

    My road bike seems all business to me and my mtn bike and I need to see a relationship counselor since we don't get along as well.

    Yep.

    My 520's name is "Buckley". It helps that all over the bike are "B's" from bontrager accents. I knew it had to have a B-name.

    Red face harem

    I never bonded with my Cannondale so, no name.
    My spankin' new Bianchi Infinito is Tootsie Bella Bella. My grandfather was Italian and called me Annie Bella Bella.
    Now I have guilt about the Cannondale...Both female, I think because next to my DH's they look more elegant and feminine.
    Cannondale looks like a long-suffering Hannah.

    I've been calling my trek 520..."Bessie" after Henry Bessimer

    -- he was an English engineer and inventor. Bessemer's name is chiefly known in connection with the Bessemer process for the manufacture of steel.

    I named my Specialized Vita Comp "Bella".
    "Vita" is Italian for "life" , therefore, "Bella Vita" means "Beautiful Life".

    I named my Apollo Etienne hybrid Josie after the comedienne Josie Long. I don't find her funny at all but the bike is long and I struggle to get it up the 5 steps into my flat I do love her though
