Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

You Know!? For Kids!
I crew on racing sailboats occasionally. In the past, I raced almost every weekend, on a J22 named BOB. The owners husband, an olympic caliber racer, named his boat DieselSnack, after seeing on a roadside exit sign late one night while pulling the boat to a regatta.

Call it Clyde
.... since you are asking here.
The only other option might be Bonnie?

Bonnie and The Clyde....
Sounds like a title for a comedy, featuring a larger guy who bikes everywhere...... In the opening he goes to the doctor and is told that he needs to shape up, goes home chucks the TV off the balcony, sells the car and buys a bike, which he names "Bonnie". By the end he's winning Triathlons, in the "Clydesdale class" .....

This story sounds just about right; the emotions and the romance are still a bit lacking though.

Ok, down to two names -
Excelsior - Its on the bike already and it has a nice ring to it. Plus, its got a cool meaning as pointed out by Historian
Rapaz - Interestingly mysterious with a cool name
Here is what I'm really looking for:
I wish I could find a cool sounding one word name the encapsulates the feeling of swooping down through the switchbacks at 40+ miles per hours and sailing through the corners. It needs to sound like the feel of the bike propelled up hill while my heart explodes out of my chest with the effort that feel like it cannot be survived until I'm actually at the top of the hill.
Any more suggestions?
