Take off those dam keys that keep on scratching my top tube
Speed up... I am board
I hate that heavy thing on my back... if I have to wear it one more day I will...

Mine would probably tell me that I don't give it enuf attention.
It does talk to me sometimes when I'm @ work and it's sitting in my office. It also goes "Ride me, ride me hard"

here's a typical conversation i have with my bike when i get home from work:
me: damn today was busy.
how are you?
bike: at least you were out of the house - i had to spend the last 9 hours in this little room staring at the window. why don't you take me to work?
me: i told you before! and i'll tell you again! my office is along a highway that is too dangerous to get to by riding you. and i don't have the energy to take you on the train everyday, it's just not worth it.
bike: you can be so cruel sometimes.
me: i'm sorry. how about i make it up to you with a quick 20 mile spin tonight?
bike: *blushes* i guess that'd be alright. only 20 though?
me: alright, we'll do three loops in the park, that should make the ride 26 miles. happy?
bike:
me: let's go then, i just have to change. stay here and i'll carry you down the stairs in 10 minutes.
me: damn today was busy.

"So honestly...do I look fat with these tires? How about this saddle? Is it to big? Does this bar tape match my complexion? You don't pay enough attention to me. Seems like you love that ***** of a couch and her friend the TV a lot more than you love me! Remember, the less attention you pay to me and my fixed gear and the more likely I'll buck you off! Now let's go ride!"
