Chucklehead

it doesn't have a name. because it's a bicycle.

:p

BigSean

I just call her Biatch!

heresy

Blond Spanish Supermodel.

Tiffanie

Well, mine doesn't have a name either. It's definitely not a she though. My bike looks masculine. You guys know what it looks like.... gimme some suggestions. :D

rubic

:p
+1 However, sometimes such as when I get a flat at an inopportune time (when is it ever opportune?) I call it names, of which I cannot repeat here.:D

Larissa --

How my stream of consciousness got me there:

Agree with Voltman on the antler look, so I thought deer.

Clarice was the deer Rudolph had a crush on in Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer.
Clarice reminds me too much of Hannibal and Silence of the Lambs
Moved on to Clarissa
Dropped the 'c'

Happytime

Any suggestions??

I think your bike looks more like a "he" than a "she." Masculine swooping top tube. :D

Drew12

I think your bike looks more like a "he" than a "she."

Oh, I will ride a "she", but I have no intention of riding a "He".

Ah, Larissa, I like it.... let me see if she respondes in a good way...

"Oh Larissa, want me to ride you long and hard!"

magicant

Bikes should all be "shes" -- like ships, hurricanes and illegal drugs.

Tiffanie

I thought so too. I guess mine then would probably be considered a butch. :roflmao:

voltman

I thought so too. I guess mine then would probably be considered a butch. :roflmao:

Well she IS wearing a chopped leather saddle, isn't she? How about Rosie?

Crusty?

Ellen

My friends named my Outback Ellen. I'll let ya'll work that one out.

Oleanshoebox

my mtb is frank.

i have not named my roadie.

jschen

My prima donna: Vivian
My workhorse: he doesn't get a name

Blue Jays

"my bicycle"

Drew12

My prima donna: Vivian
My workhorse: he doesn't get a name

that is so typical, those that do the most work get the least respect!!:rolleyes:

mava

"Bi*chin' Betty" is my sled's name. I rub her when she gets tempermental with me on the hills. ;) Heck I just rub her constantly. :eek:

merider1

Mine is named Patsy.

I have no issues riding a woman, and she performs quite well. I'll never go back to anything other than Womens Specific now that I've ridden Patsy. She understands my body and is built for my frame.

merider1

"Bi*chin' Betty" is my sled's name. I rub her when she gets tempermental with me on the hills. ;) Heck I just rub her constantly. :eek:
Hmm...perhaps I should try this trick...if I thought it would get me to the peak faster. :D

TrevorInSoCal

None of my bikes have names.

For some reason I've always found anthropomorphizing material possessions to be a little creepy.

jschen

Mine is named Patsy.
Patsy sure is a cutie. Especially when she's carrying a rider in a matching blue jersey.

mava

Hmm...perhaps I should try this trick...if I thought it would get me to the peak faster. :D

It's a known fact that rubbing = peak performance! :p :D

Mr. Beanz

Mine must be "Stupid Focker". Cause when I'm falling behind I always seem to shout,"C'mon you Stupid Focker!".:D

Maybe it's related to Gaylord Focker!:p

Allez Oops

Some cute names here!

My Bianchi goes by the name of Bea Arthur.

Oy, the way the mind works sometimes: "Bianchi sounds like bee-yotchy, which in turn kinda sounds like Bea Arthur. ...Which is not to say that Bea Arthur is a beeyotchy..." Etc etc.

My Dutch bike doesn't have a name yet. I'm stumped...

cjbruin

it doesn't have a name. because it's a bicycle.:p

Three cheers for dog hair! Hip-hip...

ronjon10

My bike may have a soul, but it doesn't have a name.

summoner12

The name tag on the side says: Trance 2

Edit: I agree with dog hair...:rolleyes: :D :p :D

spingineer

Mine is Jackie-O

BigSean

Well, mine doesn't have a name either. It's definitely not a she though. My bike looks masculine. You guys know what it looks like.... gimme some suggestions. :D

I vote for "Heavy Weight".:eek:

BigSean

My prima donna: Vivian
My workhorse: he doesn't get a name

The bike you ride naked is a "HE"?:eek:

Brandy

The bike you ride naked is a "HE"?:eek:
:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

Rick@OCRR

My mountain bike is a GT Zaskar, so I call it 'NASCAR' or "NASCAR/ZASKAR" Yes, big NASCAR sticker on top tube!
My touring bike is a Mercian Vincitore, so I named it: "Vincitore"
My SRAM Force Compact GT Ti I call "SRAM."
My Ultegra Triple GT 853 (which is blue) I call "Blue 853."
My Ultegra Double crank GT Ti I call "Fast n' Light"
My MASI single speed I named "Faliero" even though its a CA built MASI, so maybe should be "Mario."
My Hercules 3-Speed is "Nigel"
My Calfee is too new, so no name yet. I could name it "Craig" after Craig Calfee, but that's too boring. It's a Tetra Pro, so maybe just "Tetra"

Best Regs,
Rick / OCRR

I'm not giving my password away.

Go_Fast

WhiteCarbonDude

She has a different seat, and the yellow sticker are gone....

How about Ruby?

Vireo

My Scott CR1 named Scarlet

cjbruin

My Scott CR1 named Scarlet

OK...I have to admit...even though I think naming your bike is totally lame...that's a good one.

alicestrong

I usually give my bikes nicknames based on their colors...yeah, not too original...but affectionate. Some of my bikes are girls, some are boys. How do I know? I just do...

Little Blue
Zen Blackie
Root Beer Float
Blue Flame
Silver Cherie
