All u bike namin haters out there need to understand that naming bikes is not just for children. For me it cements the relationship I have with my bike. You ride it for a while, feel out its personality, and develop a repore with the bike. At that point you realize there is more to the bike then just gears and so you give it a name to represent that interaction. I"m not crazy, but usually the names come to me naturally as if they existed as part of the bike. For example my marin mtb is luca because he is a young spunky guy like bike. My 80's pana beater is carmen because she shakes her tail when I ride her around the cobblestones in my neighborhood. Just recently I finally realized that my giant fcr3 is chester. I'm not sure why chester received his name, but it fits.
Call me stupid, call me a kid, but that is how I roll. And anyway who said you have to be all serious and grown up about biking anyway
