"The mistress"? Nah. "Canny"? Too generic. Maybe the model as spoken by Sylvester the Cat? "Shufferin succotash, thatsh a Shooper Shix"! Maybe. "Fats" is pretty applicable. Still ruminating, I'll let you know what it winds up being. Yeah, anything with Steed in it is dumb.

Second was blue, and now it's 14 years old, so Ol' Blue. Both were obviously male. Now I've got a white road bike, and can't for the life of me figure out its gender. How do you name a bike if you don't know whether it's a he or she?? and then what do you do with white? So here’s my problem: My first mountain bike was red, hence Big Red.

It happened quite by accident as I was contemplating out loud replacing him. I explained to my friend that I have a serious emotional attachment to... and it just came out "Old Blue". We've been through quite alot together. He can't just be replaced willy nilly by some shiny johnny-come-lately tri-bike..... *can* he?

Its being customised out of spare parts by a slightly unhinged east German under a railway arch in South London. The guy's a genius, but he still thinks he is on the run from the KGB and wont let me take the bike out of the shop until he has stencilled the name onto the crossbar. Help! Hay

Because I traded my girlfriend Liz of three years in for racing a bike that my dad bought for me instead of helping my girlfriend pay rent. She finally got sick of me using her and threw me out. Now I am sucking off of my 16 year old friends for rides to events etc. I am nearly twenty and don't have a car. So I think that is what I will call her. I am going to call my bike Liz.

His characteristics of resiliance to accidents earned him the name Tugboat.

Like, “Hi, my name is Ted, and this is my bike, Gary Fisher.” This made me laugh, as now Ted rides Gary Fisher for miles and miles and hours and hours. I wonder how Gary feels about that. I think it should be a girl name. Comment by jill | 03.1.2007 | 2:13 pm
