My bikes have names, but normally only in my head. My Spesh is Bella (short for Bellatrix) and my Marin is The Correspondent. Derived from some very tedious logic and cultural references which will almost certainly vanish in the translation. My name is Kate, the basket is labelled "Adie", and Kate Adie was the BBC's Chief News Correspondent and something of a groundbreaker for women in high-profile war reporting. I bet you wish you'd never asked now...
