Poppa - that was called humour. I laughed anyway.

Me too. But if you fancy a bum, drop me a line. 😉

My bike gets called different names depending on whether I am going up or downhill....And the uphill name often changes depending on how steep the hill is.

The kiddyback tandem has always been called "The Flying Banana" as it's long, yellow and fast.

The others are without name... Other than the obvious:
Cyrene
29er
Rhino...

regards,
Daren

All my Cannondales have been called flossy.

When I had two it was quite confusing as they wouldn't come to me when I called them.

The trouble with naming your bike is that, like with other things (animals, toasters, children, etc) once you’ve named it you start to from an emotional attachment to what is essentially just a collection of functional parts; metal, plastic and rubber. That way lies poor decisions when it comes time to ditch it, change parts or just move on

Nah, I do find I'm running out of names though 😉

My old GT STS was christened 'the plastic pig' by a riding buddy and was referred to as such for the next 2 years until the head tube separated from the carbon top tube!
