Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - OT: Naming your bikes

Do you name your bikes, if so what are their names?

Mine is named Kristen Bell.

VV In the sig VV

Betty and Yuko

el chupacabra

Do what you want, but I don't think I can fully support the naming of bicycles.

I haven't named my bikes (....yet), but people tend to refer to their bikes with female pronouns- just wondering if they name them as well.

I think it personalizes them a little.

Dr. Taintectomy

*****, ****, **** among other things

"the Miyata"
"the Road Bike"
"the Volkscycle"

etc, etc.

The Chairman. (after Mao)

trigger

My steamroller is Chola - Cuz she's fast, tough and brown.

nupe

Gypsie

The only female pronoun I use when referring to my bikes is the same as one would use for a female dog...

I named my road bike Gretchin three days after I got it, but I have yet to name my Jamie Roy (probably because the model name is a name already).

kenji

"the SS" for my singlespeed. As a Jew, I like the idea of riding the SS.
"Sin-Wagon" for my Orbea, it is fast, and makes me want to break the law.
"Crap-Wagon" my Motobecane-new style- frame bought of craigslist, set up as a single speed, it was supposed to replace "the SS" but it is the worst frame I have ever ridden, so "crap-wagon"

the invisible bike. (fixed)
my fast bike (TCR)
The beast (Mtn bike)

Spicy Cal-Roll (Spicer track frame and multi-country mixed parts)
Dad's (old Raleigh conversion beater)
Little Bianchi (Bianchi Road bike with Campy mix)

i saw someone in LA with the name "Test Bike" on the top tube. it looked amazing. black letters on battleship grey xtracycle frame.

I almost got one from a local police auction that had a black frame with a fluorescent orange evidence sticker on the top tube, I was gonna clear coat over it and just call it "The Evidence".

Would have been interesting if it'd been stolen and I reported it to the cops... "Yeah, someone just took the evidence and I'd like it back."

i'm gonna name mine "cythe"
come from cytherea, my favorite porn star...
lol i ride my cythe...

Ditto. Goes for my car and truck as well except they are modified a bit. The truck is the big black ***** and the car is the little black *****. 'Cause they are black, dig? I don't know my motorbike well enough to give it name yet, but it will probably be the same.

Its name is Charlene.

Also, I think I'm going to name my letour conversion Sylvia. Or maybe Sarah, since she's a dirty wh*re.

My old Schwinn commuter is Mrs. Merdle. I still have to come up with a name for my new IRO Mark V Pro. Haven't ridden it enough yet to name it.

My bike is called Catch 22. Since I'm married, I'm D@mned if I get anything but I'm D@mned if I don't.

That guy is one of my personal heroes. Weird guy, but an amazing photographer. There's a documentary about him called Arakimentari that I highly recommend if you have the interest.
