Name My New Bike Pointless Prize

[reji]

I brought home a new bike yesterday, yay! I’m replacing my 6-month old Pinky Tuscadero, a Jamis Renegade Exploit, who was run over by a cement mixer. Pinky’s replacement is the same exact bike (model/year/specs) and I need to name her. Suggestions welcome and if I choose your suggested name, you win the pointless prize. And please, no Bikey McBike Face.

Pics of Pinky and “She who shall be named” are here: https://www.strava.com/activities/1362445182
And the Strava or it didn’t happen evidence of Pinky’s demise are here: https://www.strava.com/activities/1351638130

FYI, my other bikes are Shirley, the trusted dependable hybrid and Laverne, the fun and just a little crazy CX bike.

Entries for this pointless prize end 1/31/18.

Oh, and big kudos to Bikenetic who found Pinky’s replacement for me super fast!

Since we were discussing books at Caboose, I’ll also add Ursula, because I’m distraught at Ursula K. Le Guin’s passing and she deserves to be memorialized.

Uh, no. But then neither will Squiggy.

You could go with “Pointer” to keep with the digit theme. Alternatively, you could occasionally use Anita, June, and/or Ruth as a moniker as an homage to the fabulous divas of the 1970s/1980s disco/dance age, The Pointer Sisters.

Amelia Earhart. Mostly because she was a bada$$ but also because she was a free spirit who followed her heart and went wherever she wanted. Amelia will not be constrained by paved roads and trails but will seek gravel, dirt and mud! She will, of course, figuratively “point” at Vulcan every time we ride by.:cool:

But who wins the pointless prize?

Somebody has to win. We need that thing out of the house! I mean, ummm, somebody’s going to want that prize!

Excellent idea naming it after a woman who died* in a crash.

*Maybe. Unless the truth is that she was captured by the Japanese. Or took a job at Comet Ping Pong. Or whatever.
