Well I have a white motobecane frame with gold rims. I named her Pegasus but recently I changed my handlebar tape from white to black...so for now...he shall be called Dark Pegasus....Sorry if this thread has already been made already but I was wondering if any of you other riders have named your "whip". And if so, justification or any meaning behind the name? xD

I don't like assigning inanimate objects names, it just creeps me out. Aside from calling it by it's model exactly, I simply use a shorter renditions of the company assigned names for my bikes. For example my bianchi pista concept = pcept; leader LD-727TR = 727; cannondale track = cdale track (cdale is there to prevent any mix up of merit with the fuji).
Only what I call my cinelli vigorelli, breaks the mold; I call it the magica, after a decal on its top tube.

My girlfriend named my white Motobecane Track "Shadowfax." She's a big Lord of the Rings fan.

Naming bikes is something that girls and dorks do.

Don't forget stoners.

I jokingly, yet somewhat affectionately, call my bike The Goose.

Bike.

anything she responds to.

I call mine "Gnarkill 3000"

The Brewster. It's an SE Premium Brew, so it kinda makes sense. My buddy at the LBS thought of it.

I'm a simple guy - in the same order as my sig: The green bike, the other green bike, the blue bike, the red bike and the white bike.

"The brown bike," "The black bike," "The Motobecane," "The Bottecchia," "The Peugeot," "The Centurion," "The BMX."

All my bikes have first and last names.

I'm with you on that buddy.

My bike is called bike...

No name, since i only have one there's no confusion. The frame color etc. were modeled after my old motorcycle, Penelope, so i dunno. Penelope Jr?

If you don't name your bikes you don't love them.
Why do you hate your bikes?

I guess I'm a dork :]. A happy one a matter a fact. After a long ride I sometimes congratulate Pegasus on a ride well done after conquering a steep mountain. Haha just kidding. However when I talk to friends and other riders I've warm up to I eventually mention my bike's name. They either think it's funny and cool....or funny and dumb, but often just brush it off. It's all good, I personally love giving intimate objects that are special to me names because it brings them to life . Just as my old childhood teddy bear (Jonathan) and my car (Bonnie). On a side note I want to design and name my next bike after Hercules. That is all.

I lol'd

Do you have mongoose? Or does your bike resemble or have the characteristics of a goose?

my surly steamroller is called the creamroller.

Bros, my all black Motobecane is named Baekdoosan
