    I had a Beast & have a “Princess of Darkness” – I shorten that to Princess when we are alone.
    and two others that are just bikes. 🙂

    Yeti Big Top – The Bearded Lady

    and all my mates seem to do the same, Gina, Tracey and Betty – an Alpine 160, Tracer and SB66 respectively

    My wife and her family name their cars so when we got together somehow my bikes and cars ended up with names.

    In my house there lives Dylan (road), Jack (Mtb) and Dennis (CX) and we drive around in Seth (octavia) and Sir Edmund (Yeti)

    It’s kind of become normal now 🙂

    Queen Anne, Betty Ribble, Surly Shirley and, err, Stumpy all reside in my garage and/or the back room.
    Anne and Betty were so named so I could remember which one was A and B on my old cateye computer because of the different wheel sizes. It caught on from there.

    Don’t really name them. If people ask I give them the name of the person who helped me build them.

    Previous bike was called Duncan – On-One 456
    Current bike is called Colin – Salsa Horsethief
