I’d ride Jamis Lee Curtis. That’s funny.

My road bike is named Jassette. The in-the-works mountain bike is Callie, since it's a Caloi.

I love naming my bikes. First thing I do when I get a new one.

1980 Raleigh Competition: Bike Noir
2005 Serotta Concours: Zebulon Bike
2003 Serotta Legend: L’Edge
1974 Schwinn Paramount: Brooklyn Blue Blinger
1984 Columbine: Murphy Le Fleur
1976 Raleigh Super Course: OJ, or The Juice

Once had a motor scooter: Scooter Libby

Many of you can’t understand why anyone would name their bicycles. I’m the opposite: I can’t understand why anyone wouldn’t.

And I'm an agnostic. Good stuff though. Good ol' Jeebus totes gave us the green light to judge the judgeys.

Let's see;
1976 Bridgestone Superlight: Christened 'the War Horse' but usually referred to as 'The Old Bike' or 'Grandpa's Bike' (still officially belongs to my dad)

1996 Cannondale F-XXXX: XC race sled turned commuter 'The Black Bike'

1998 SoftRide: had some nubbly blue-black bar tape on it when i bought it so it became 'Gonzo's Nose' in honor of the original blue-beaked wierdo.

Road Bike aka the Blue One, Old Road Bike aka the Black One, Trike, Tandem, and Recumbent. I'm not very imaginative.
