Funny, but : Motobécane was a French manufacturer of bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles, and other small vehicles, established in 1923. "Motobécane" is a compound word made up of two colloquialisms stuck together. "Moto" is a slang word for motorcycle; "bécane" is slang for "bike."

Keep on climbing
I have a Calfee Tetra, and a "tetra" is (according to the American Heritage Dictionary):
Any of numerous small colorful tropical freshwater fish of the family Characidae, such as the neon tetra, found in South America and Africa, and often kept in home aquariums

Mine's named after a Bible verse. Those who know me well appreciate the irony.

Yeah, a Cannondale is a land mammel that eats other animals including Cervelo's, Litespeeds, Treks, Specializeds and others. Preyed on by BMC's but often is able to elude them.

"Him" is kind of vague anyway... maybe it's referring to Jan!
