sorry if this has been done, I just realized my bikes had no owner given names, like Clarence Flipper or Denise, wondered if other people named their bikes, looking for inspiration.

i named my pista 'sylvia'. i think that's my only named bike. i just call the rest of them by their manufacturer/builder's name... quite exciting. to make it even more exciting i stand up and put both arms in the air like i'm doing 'the wave'.

I named my mountain bike "Asshammer" because I wanted it to be tough and homoerotic.

Chasey because I love to ride her.

mine are named Anytime

Franchesca, or checka for short. She's an old peugeot (french hence franc part) and has the awesome peugeot old checker decal on her frame (hence checka).

"silver hammer"

my name is maxwell

it is pimp as **** yo

I've used the 'belle' names.

Anabelle.

Bonnie Belle.

Lulabelle.

Suzy Bell.

Jezebelle is my Kogswell Model F.

Céline.

A French name for a Taiwanese made Italian bike (Bianchi).

I've been plagued with this question for the past month when I bought my new bike, sadly though, I still don't have a name. I guess it'll get a name when I'm out riding and it hits me. In that case I hope the name isn't Escalade, Hummer, or Mack.

Cherrybomb.

The tank.

Cap'n America.

Titan.

Groucho.

"The soma."

Doomsday....thats the sticker on the top tube when i got the frame.

My old debernardi was "Princess"
I thought my new Bridgestone would be "Strong Bad" but the name hasnt stuck.

i have started calling my trek "the greyhound" cuz she is grey, and sleek, and o so speedy. the other bikes go by their marque, or sometimes "the cargo bike", "the folding bike", etc.

my fixie is Kou Tetsu (all the meanings/spellings are aproppriate ) others go by manufacturer names.

the gwerch (guerciotti)
the orange bike (unbadged french conversion)
the schwinn

i love my bikes, but i don't/can't really anthropomorphize them...that is, until they throw me. then it gets personal.

Less of a name, and more of a title: The Dominator

What's up with only having grips all the way at the tops of the bars? Seems like you'd be better off with a nice narrow pair of flat bars.

I tried flat bars, but I like all the useful curves of the full drop. I just spend the majority of the time on top.

my steamroller is sue.
my road bike hasn't earned a name yet (just 300 mi on her so far)
and my other bike is called beater, but not in her presence.

Silver bike = was The Coors Light, but is now Andre since someone put one of those "OBEY" stickers on it w/ Andre the Giant's picture.
White bike = The Shark (from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas)
the red one = The Schwinn (yeah, it gets no love).

I have another frame coming soon. Its a schwinn madison track and has yet to be named. I think it might get stuck with simply, "The Madison"

"Shadow". The bike, a Scapin, is black, of course.

Mine have the most original names ever: White Bike, Blue Bike, Road Bike, and Raleigh.

i have "the felt"/"the blue one"/"the road bike"

and

"the mercier"/"the black one"/"the fixed gear"

ive got "elizabeth" and "that black bike for which i cannot afford a fixed wheelset, damn"
