Roads named after bike brands
I know they didn’t name this after the bike, but it made me think of streets that share the name of bike brands. Saw this earlier this week before Mordor sent us their air. More to follow when I can again go outside

Here’s a shot taken from outside of the Post Office in Saint Louis Park MN. The Raleigh Bicycle Company really was named after a Street in Nottingham; in turn, I’d like to think that this US street is named after Raleigh bikes. Not sure but 36th Street may be named for the number of spokes in a typical C&V wheel hub, and I hear the U.S. Postal Service itself was named after Lance Armstrong’s bike.

Not a bike, but kinda fits the theme nonetheless. A road in Dijon named after the inventor of the dérailleur:

There is a Bottecchia Boulevard in Johnstown, Ohio. Search for it, and others, in Google Maps.

Colnago Place, and a bunch of others, in Fort Mill, South Carolina. Apparently someone associated with bicycles had a lot to do with naming the streets there.

Reynolds Parade, Melbourne, Australia.
Unfortunately it's not long enough to have a house number 531...or 501 for that matter. Image stolen from a popular search engine.

I was going to "like" your post, but I don't like it. I don't like it at all.
