Naming your bikes, what a saddo :rolleyes:
What about the invisible machine as we haven't seen it yet, might not even exist for all we know.

My MTB is called Edmund after Edmund Blackadder - who was my GF's first crush.


My Bianchi is called Beverley, named after a very beautiful but somewhat ditzy university friend of mine. Kind of fits the character of the bike.

Agree with peeps above who said the name should be something personal to you. Finding the right name takes time, don't force it, it will suddenly become apparent.

I've named my 3-speed 'Cunégonde' because it was built from bits by a shop and doesn't have a make and model name.


The name was suggested by a french friend because 1. it's an old french female name and; 2. it sounds a bit rude.

I named my old MTB Jane, after a former girlfriend.

It looked o.k. from a distance, but was overweight, difficult to handle, always something wrong with it and a bit of a b*tch. We went a fair mileage together, but it was a boring ride and I couldn't wait to replace it with a newer model. Good riddance... :biggrin:

My Pinarello is called Peregrine.

You can't ask random strangers to name your bike. You need to get out there and ride it and find out that way.

Still don't believe you've got a Dogma.

PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

Paint it yellow and call it "Custard"

M8 used to have an old ford fiesta called Custard. epic name for a vehicle that ;)

the car after was a beige colour so was nicknamed "Lard"
