Do you name your bike(s)?

[PokojniToza]

This morning, reading about Mourinho's sacking I've realized, much to my dissapointment, that Jose would be a suitable name for my bike, so I wondered how many of you name your bikes? Also, is it a he or a she for you?

I used to call my Sempre Priscilla.

I'd never give a bike a person's name, since it already has a brand and model name. However, if the brand of the bike is a frame builder's name for instance...

"Honey, I'll be back for tea, I'm off to ride Jack Taylor"

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday....

I give mine a custom paintjob and a matching name, then a printed decal with the name for her tramp stamp.

[moonoi]

No, and it's a bike, not a he or a she

[AJS914]

No

[gravity]

I cringed everytime i see someone refers their bike as a “she”. But i have also been told not to take live too seriously... so i guess calling ur bike as a she is fine too

Only my Surly LHT tourer has a name. I call it "the slug", both because of its colour (olive green) and because of the lower average speed when riding it. I spent the month of September touring in central Europe, and when I look at the average speed reported by month on Garmin Connect, it's more than 5kph slower for September than for any other month of the year.

I only gave them names on Strava because it has that option. The Cannondale is the Super Sick. The BMC is the Swiss Miss. The other bike is Garbage Bike.

I have names for most of my bikes, but they're mostly named on their looks.

Madone 9 - Oxcart (in homage to the A-12)
Madone 5 - The Hulk (it's big and green)
Madone 4 - Mr. 305/Mr. Worldwide (it lives in Miami, thus the Pitbull reference)
Crockett - Tubbs (it's bright colors are reminiscent of Miami Vice)

I don't have a name for my Cobia, however.

No I don't name my bikes, but when they go in for repair or adjustements... I feel a mild panic and sympathise with Gollum.. My Precioussss.

I don’t, but I have 2 sons and they name anything that moves or can be ridden. So, they made me name them. See my signature for names.
