It has been known for me to talk to my bike.
But I also talk to the telly, the dog, the microwave.
I don't get out much

Some of our bikes have names and funnily enough they get called them more often when we are in Cornwall than any other place.

I talk to the horses and cows on my commute as they watch me fly past their fields, and I talk to my legs which normally goes along the lines of 'come on you stupid f***ing lazy bl**dy things- call this a climb- shut up and get on with it'.
However I'm yet to talk to the bike!

my wife talks to my bike, she calls it "a stupid thing " and she calls me " stupid old man" when she sees me on it.

I'm glad I'm not alone! I even say thank you to the cash point machine, well it's only polite, isn't it?

Some right "barm pots" on this forum !

I don't find inanimate machines to be very good at conversation.

Just as well when they go wrong, get punctures, and more, when I swear at them.

Mine are "The blue one" and "the grey one".

@gavroche
you're not the only one. Mine just says and thinks I'm mad. She just can't see why anyone would want to ride 300m upwards onto the hills just to ride back down again. If I say it's partly to try to get to 40mph between the hairpin bends she just says people with suicidal tendencies really ought to be locked up.

I presume you live in quite a remote part of Cornwall

 

[ianrauk]

The only time I do speak to the bike is when it's annoyed me for some mechanical reason and it get's called a 'fekken thing'.
