Just curious: what are your bikes’ names? How did you pick them?
I have a Bronco, a 20-year old Cannondale R600; dark blue; now permanently on the trainer after he threw me off.
I also have a Pegasus, a Specialized Amira.
My Arion, the Trek Procaliber 9.7 is what I rode at 24HOP and on whom I crashed (which ended the race). I will need to get a replacement frame for him unfortunately With the crash replacement discount I am now getting (just ordered yesterday) a Procaliber 9.8 SL.
The new bike will be Skyphios I think (another immortal horse from the Greek mythology). I can’t wait for him to get here!
My Canyon Strive is named Miss Candy.
My Norco Torrent HT1 is named Nymphy Nancy
My Mondraker Tracker RR is named Moody Monica
My Specialized Enduro Evo is named Eager Erin
My Giant TCR is named Tasty Tina
My Rocky Mountain Element is named Randy Rachel
My Tacx Neo is named Neurotic Ned
Hmmm… Writing them all down like that, something has become all too obvious…
I call my tri bike Mjolnir because I hammer the bike leg (float, hammer and jog instead of swim, bike, run)
My road bike goes by the name of Gomez since my wife has almost identical bike called Morticia and both of them being black make a nice Adams family
My Grandma was called Winifred Dinnage. I used the money she left me in her will to buy it. It is over 20 years old now. One day I will replace it, but I can’t bring myself to do it
I use the name Daenarys Targaryen on Strava for reasons of privacy. My bikes are named after her dragons, Drogon being my race bike, Viserion my TT bike, Rhaegal my CX bike, Balerion my FS MTB, Vhagar my HT MTB!
Orbea Ordu tri bike - “Jet” (fast and black)
Orbea Avant road bike - “Ava” (obvious contraction of the model name)
90’s era Specialized Hardrock AX-FS - “Large Marge” (she’s a tank!)
I’ve been known to compare my 2012 Felt B16 to Sir Paul McCartney. Well past its best, almost certainly due for retirement, but can still put on a damn good show when called on!
My road, tri, and gravel bikes have not been named, but the fixie is the “Bumble Bee” (no, it’s not very creative).
