My Klein is a beautiful blue silver paint, the kind of paint job only Klein was able to do. When a friend saw her the first time he said "shiny!" and then started singing REM's shinning happy people so I have always called her Shiny.
My utopia is Flower Power because of the orange flower stickers I put on her.

I bought a "Robin's Egg Blue" Surly Cross Check that I'm waiting on. Not sure what the name will be. My Trek FX 7.3 is Scout from To Kill A Mockingbird. The Cross Check is sturdy, utilitarian, quirky, and pretty ...like a Bulldog. So I'm thinking the name needs to represent the quirky/solidness, but sound "sexy" to compensate. lol

My Kona's name is "Bucky"
Why? Because I was re-reading one of my favorite childhood books, Watership Down, when I got him and the name of one of the characters, Buckthorn, just kind of stuck.

On my way to pick up the Surly we ate a late lunch/early dinner, which I commented about. My DH asked, "So did we just eat 'dunch' or 'linner'?" (changing the first letters of the words "lunch" & "dinner". I responded "linner" which then got morphed into "Leonard" by DH. So now the inside joke is that my bike's name is "Leonard"!

I'm so glad it's not just me. I commented to a biking friend yesterday that my new bike needs a name, and I got the strangest look from her!

I suspect my trainer thinks I am odd for naming my car and bikes - of course he probably already thought that
