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.
Dirty
Even dirtier
Broken

So ... are your bikes male or female?[/i]
christ. Mine are just a collection of metal and rubber. They have neither chromosomes [b]nor genitals[/b].
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
(flouresent orange on-one 456 summer season)
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 s**** 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 ****ing 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.
sus is called Babs (all of them) hard-tails always Dave. probably the drugs 😳
Race bike/ The Yeti
DH bike/ the Marin/ white bike
Saracen/ the hardtail/ spare bike
The singlespeed (sometimes gets called Claude but this allowed as it is a Claude Butler)
Road bike
Time-trial bike
Had a different Marin before the Yeti, this was also known as Race bike or sometimes the grey Marin
GF is more imaginative and has
Suzy (Specialized Stumpy)
Bertha (Dawes HT of some sort)
Bridget (Dawes road bike)
Poo-bike (Halfords special hack bike)
But then she even gives her cars names (Bella and Izzy so far, both Aygos)
My cars have been
The Tardis (Proton Persona, surprisingly large boot)
The rust bucket (Peugeot 306)
The Repmobile (Mondeo, which the GF called Percy for some reason)
The Toyota (Toyota Corrolla)
The Hyundai (Hyundai Trajet)
I find that if ones names stuff ones gets attached to them and then upset when they break and have to be replaced, was rather sad to see Percy go.
I know someone whose current bike is called Shadowfax 14
I've not read any of this thread but ny bikes are called
the jones
the gryphon
the paradox
the black sheep
the cross bike
the nomad
the tandem.
the santa cruz or the big bike
the trek or the xc bike
the roadbike
pretty unimaginative - perhaps i need to get another so i can give it a better name? I'm thinking perhaps Fairy the Niner Air 9 Carbon might be good for the summer.
I've decided to call my Litespeed 'Thatcher'
... because its broken and in a box, just like I wish she was. 😈
nothing, it's a bike
My SS is called Mary because it's a Haro Mary.
The "blue one" or "the good bike" and " the yellow one" or " the commuter"
My wife calls my sc nomad "the bitch".She is convinced i'm having an affair with it.Mind you,i am riding my bike more than her. 😈
