Steph broke my elbow
Cindy left me on crutches
Boo Boo was sold on
Stella was stolen, after that I couldn't give any names because I got attached it it hurt when the bastard/s stole Stella so now it's
Six six and the hardtail.

My Mrs bought me my Inbred frame as an engagement present (well she did get a ring!) so its called Ballard, which is her maiden name.

Other bikes just called what they are called, although I might try to come up with something better…

Similar to Sturmy, my Blur is called Hilda after my dearly departed Grandmother who left me a bit of money with instructions to enjoy it. And enjoy it I do, as often as I can. I'll never part with it.

The 29er
The Turner (which is odd, as really that should be The 26er).
The road bike.
The Turbo trainer.
They all live in The Shed with The Paint and the Tyres and The step ladder.

Edit: maybe this gives a clue to why I am still single. The girlfriend doesn't have a name as far as I am aware. She is allowed in the house.

My sister named my bikes – there's Bruce the 'Goose and then Trevor the Kona and Kyle the Trek. Which is clearly the wrong way round.

Our cars have always had names too, but it's nothing to do with me.

So … are your bikes male or female?
christ. Mine are just a collection of metal and rubber. They have neither chromosomes nor genitals.

Thanks for that Andy… I now have an unpleasant image in my head of exactly where a bike's genitals might be…

Lucy….. Lucyfer, because she's sweet to me on the uphills, and a demon on the downhills!
Other one doesn't have a name yet.
Girlfriend calls them the other women in my life. I'm okay with that of course!

The white forks reminded me of white stilletos hence the Trek is called "Tracey".

The new Anthem is orange, so has the name "Ginge" already

The 2 oranges are………. "the 5" and "the 7"

I love the 7 the most 😀

me beauty – same as my wife 🙂

sir. i am not the master in this relationship.

The Kona (Coiler, also called das strudlepanzer by a friend after hefting it)
The inbred (the… inbred)
The poo brown Kona (Roast – currently in bits)
The osmotic fitness device (her bike)

Well if I get a mechanical…I can't post what I call it as I'd get banned 😈

So … if I gave my bikes some boys names, would this be deemed acceptable or just plain perverted 😯

**** ugly

I call my SX trail 'a Tank', as it just is bloody heavy and makes up for my lack of skill when descending!

Berty Blue bike (my first – got stolen from the shed last week) 🙁
Terry Titus
Ruby Road Bike (as in specialized Ruby)

Previous Rupert red bike, Kermit Kona!

Yes I am sad!! Must stop saying can you fix his ….(insert part)when I go to the bike shop but it just pops out my mouth!

Red bike
Grey bike
Road bike
Cross bike

The Kona
The Rocky
The Rumble

The Rocky is referred to as my 'mistress'. ie 'Taking your mistress on holiday again and not me' by my girlfriend, as the other two are frames and bits at the mo.

Can't blame her really.

The Alpine 5 is called Samson (Samson Strange) and the P7 is called Ollie (Ollie Orange)I like the alliteration!!

"road bike" – road bike

"the singlespeed" – ss hardtail

"vintage" – 89 Cindercone

"bmx" – bmx (soon to be the dirt-only bmx)

"fixed" – fixed road bike

"crappo commuter" – ss'd kona dew

"ratbike" – hack

"Princess Bike" – Cotic Bfe. When I was building it we lived in our old flat and there was no room in the shed, so it was born indoors and resided in the living room for a bit – the princess bit was borne of an impressive rant one day about "the state of the place" by Mrs tyred, which included a pointed sub-rant about how the Cotic was too precious to slum it with the other bikes out in the shed. The name stuck.

Am I reading this correctly?

The ladies tend to name their bikes, the guys are less cerebral preferring factuals?
Unless the funds were provided by a departed relative.

Not sure I could name my bike after a departed elderly relative.

Me:I've been riding Aunt Norma round the woods all day and she's fithy?
Mate:Whos Norma?
Me:She's dead. 😳

I'm working on blokes' names 🙄

All started by the wife with 'my other women'

Marine- Marin
Spanky- Ti hardtail
Alf- Alfine geared Ti hardtail
Cross- Spesh CX
Fred- Inbred, now sold to a mate
And now i need a name for the Ti road bike that i'm getting off another mate.

I tend to call it

"My bike"

there was a guy on here a couple of years ago who had a pretty pimp nomad. he put up one of those 'my new bike' threads and said something along the lines of 'this is my new rig, she is called Black Justice.' with caps and everything. it made me snigger and think of the comic book store guy from the simpsons. funnily enough it cured me of my hankering for a nomad!

My wife as also nammed my MTB 'The Mistress'

as she says, 'she' takes all my money, all my time, and I seem to ride her more often hahahaha

Others are just Track and Cross

Got one called floyd cos its so fast you'd think its on drugs but its not!!! My Wife calls it that F**king bike (had a few warrenty issue with some parts you see!!) does that count!?!

And one called belina after a fit bird at uni also from halifax!!!

I love the way people get so un tight about bike names and stuff its all a laugh eh??

Black justice is well funny though!!!! 😆

well the geared bike has lately become the 'lazy bike' when its not being called things too im-polite to print on here as its been nothing but trouble.

the singlespeed is rather unimaginativly the'ss'

My Precious

pimpmobile (or superflybike)

"my bike" and "my other bike". Names are interchangeable.

ht

susser

Each to their own 'n' all that but giving your bike a name is nearly as gay as having your name on it.

Scott (I know thats its name cos its written on the downtube by the manufacturer)
Patsy (Klein)
'Dale (obvious, that one)
My cross bike is just called 'the crossbike'. Its not actually that cross, sometimes it seems to be in a good mood.
