to give my bicycle a name?

[HookedOnHooking]

My bicycle has a name. It suits her.

I am because my sister's doesn't. Would it be terribly unreasonable to name her?

We have an "entity" called Kowalski who will vist if DS doesn't brush his teeth. That's a bit dark, DP came up with it. Might nip it in the bud actually

Dear Bunty and I are off on a jolly this weekend with like minded Pashley owners. I'll ask them what theirs are named.

dropthepirate I had an evil headteacher called Kowalski. She used to put the fear of god up me!

I no longer have a bike. DH has 3 & ive just suggested we name them.
He was

I love this thread!

I shall be naming my bike today as a result of it.

I love Mrs Pankhurst, that's genius

I reckon bikes are like horses, they need a name so you can talk to them as you saddle up, and gee them on during your ride. My noble steed is a carbon fibre beauty - white frame, red and silver trim (handlebar tape, bottle cages etc). She's always been "Princess Mipsy". I love her dearly, she gets cleaned with baby wipes and microfibre cloths.

Some excellent names here, will consult the oracles that are my children on the final decision, are bikes always female by the way?

Hmmm, neither of my bikes have names. I shall have to think about this.
Road bike seems to need a slinky name, and the hybrid something more solid somehow.

My Dawes was male. My Specialized is female. I don't know why.

DH has four bikes (seriously).

I don't cycle, but I am now feeling the need to name his bikes.

Help me with four bike names please!! I am somewhat lacking in the imagination department.

Four bikes isn't that many. What sort of bikes are they Topsey? Road bikes or mountain bikes? I'm guessing he has a commute bike if he's got 4. And colours, that would help.

I think the commute bike should be called Colin.

4 horsemen of the apocalypse.

pestilence, death, ......um. and the others

Famine and War? Hmm.

Perhaps go for Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Colin. I still like the idea of Colin the commute bike.

My dutch style bike is called Dolly and I have yarn-bombed her basket.... We're off on a Sky Ride tomorrow! I love Dolly a lot, and I find traffic gives way to me way more often than DH on his snazzy road bike - I think her flowers make people smile!

Gabilan, I will probably get this wrong, but from memory there is a racer, a mountain bike, a hybrid one and some other sort rf road bike.

It seems a lot to someone like me, who has never felt comfortable on a bike.

Colin the Commuter sounds good for the road bike! Like that one.

Richard the Racer? Harvey the Hybrid? Mick of the Mountains?

Might be hitting my stride now, belatedly.

My bike is called Lady Penelope, she's lovely!

Loving Lady Penelope! and Mrs Pankhurst
