I called my old bike "40 acres" because I used it as a mule so much.

The new one is named "The Hobbit," because it's about 4 feet tall and it carries important cargo.

my reeeelly old rusted cromo rampage is " The beast"
my old steel tomassa road bike is "Tom"
my new lemond poprad is "Percy" (short for persimmon - it's a persimmon orange bike)

My Trek 1200 is just "The Trek" or "The road bike"

My Diamondback Outlook is either "The Hybrid" or if it's ghetto'd up with a bunch of stuff like panniers improperly mounted on the seat-post rack, I call it "Hybrid-Zilla"

My Diamondback Sorrento is either "The MTB" or "The Beater" - Although it's the most rugged bike I own, it's also the most torn-up.

My commuter is "olde English" as it looked like an old English 3 speed when I had the flat bars, downtube shifters, and fenders on it.

My road bike, an old Centurion, is "the Game"--don't ask me why, I don't even know.

My mountain bike is "El Toro Negro", an all black Deep Cove that once had bar ends on it, hence the bull reference.

I'm a dork....

Roadbike - "Butter"

mtb - "Nu&Blu"

Bruiser - Black and Blue Paint, and It's my beater/rain bike).
The General Lee - Orange IRO Angus Fixie
The White Rabbit - White Orbea Dauphine Road Bike (Alice in Wonderland Reference).

Silver road bike = "Greylock" - got me through the MS Mt. Greylock challenge last year.
'70s Motobecane = "Monty Bacon" or "Motor Bacon" - yeah, I don't speak French.
IRO Rob Roy has no official name yet, but will probably be "Roughcat".

For now, my new '08 Trek Portland is "My baby"...

Fixie-Langster
BMX- Disrupter
Urban-Zero

I just figured the factory names were good enough. That and I am to lazy to think of my own.

Tempest and I have '61 Pontiac Tempest quarter panel, glovebox badges and the fender ornaments to go on it.

I had a '66 15 years ago and I figured the name fit.

I've got "road bike", aka "sekine", aka "orange one", aka "bike"... prefixed by "my", "the", or "this" usually.
I have another called "new bike" (even though it's old), aka "mountain bike", aka "mercury", aka "black one", aka "piece of ****" when it pops the chain off under a load, while going through a busy intersection and attempts to kill me.

my bike.

I once had a 1981 Schwinn medium-blue 5-speed Cruiser. This bicycle was tough, heavy, could handle
any type of terrain, and stood up to all the abuse I could give it. Therefore, I dubbed it "The Panzer Tank." I'm sure that someone out there is still riding it.

In 1990, I purchased a red Trek 850. It's a light and durable mountain bike that enabled me to ride farther at faster speeds. Because it's stood up to more than the 18 years of abuse while riding it, I dubbed this bike "The Antelope". I still ride it today.

My bike or the Trek.

So the Cypress is still Susan, the new one, the tri-cross, is Elizebeth.

As dubbed by my former Director who bike races locally. Kenworth

Very nice.

My moniker for the bike is "Atlas," because he carries the known world on his... um... saddle.

My Trek Navigator 300 (1st bike): "John Deere"

My Trek 520: "Hideously Charming Commuter Bike"

My two are: Old Blue = A Trek 4300 which is blue in color, I use for Commuting, banged up some.
Chopper Bike = Giant Stiletto, for horsing around on.

I don't usually refer to them by name, but my large, bright cerulean Mundo is named "IBM". (Have a cookie if you get the joke.)
My inner 15-year-old insisted on naming my commuter hybrid "Your Mother".

5 bikes, one for each decade I've lived in:

1966 Raleigh DL-1 Tourist: The Old Gentleman
1973 Schwinn Varsity: Orange Julius
1983 Raleigh Marathon: The Dumpster Queen
1994 Nishiki Sport XRS hybrid (main commuter): The Daily Grind
2009 Schwinn Cutter single speed: The Black Dog

I was in the LBS the other day and a college student bought a loop-frame Birius Classic Dutch bike. She name it Bernard. I asked whether Bernadette would be better, considering it's a ladies frame and she said no, she didn't feel right riding another girl.

:innocent:
