Do you name your bikes?

[synchronicity]

My ex-wife used came up with the name "Gwendalyn" for my light road bike (because it was so finicky).

Now I'm kind of tempted to name the others...

What do you people name your bikes, if anything?

Mine is called Thunderpussy.

(no it's not)

Well there is Ron the Road bike (Ron Cooper), Dave the Discoverer (Dave Yates expedition) and The Beast (Dawes Sardar).

One is called 'Blondie' homage to the pop band. And also Deb's Harry's family name was Trimble https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debbie_Harry
And I loved her and the music from the band. And also I loved the paintings carried out by Allied pilots on their planes

I have a longtail transport bicycle that had a sticker on the top tube saying "stretch". Now its just called the Kona. My main bicycle is red, so I put a "no more fascism" sticker on it. And there is a leftie on it... Not sure if this translates very well.

Is it a good rider?

The most commonly used form of address seems to be "you little b*stard" - and I'm not fussy about which of the fleet gets called it.

Was going to make a wildly inappropriate comment about the Thunderbike, but thought better of it...

Sorry for lowering the tone
