Picking a name for your new bike model must be tricky. Perhaps it needs to convey what your bike is for, or how you want the rider to feel. Maybe you want it to be funny, or memorable? But will it work across the world, and in multiple languages? And has some bright spark already claimed it as a trademark? One for the quiver? Here’s a quiz to see how many names you can match…

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones.
More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments.
I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.
The answer to the “Rattler” question is wrong, a quick bit of Googling reveals a BSO with one of those brands on it. And UK readers might not know that “butte” is pronounced to rhyme with “newt”, so the marketing team responsible for that one probably still kept their jobs. That aside, bike names are generally pretty dire, aren’t they?
Just 11!
I’m happy that this is proof that I spend more time riding my bike than reading about them.
I’m slightly disappointed as I thought I was a bit of a bike geek.😀
