But I don’t really call them that; that’s just how they’re listed on Strava.

Now I’m up to Echo and Foxtrot. So predictable.

I have three bikes currently.

Jean-Luc – a Trek 1.2 road bike – named after Jean-Luc Picard

Maxwell – a Trek CrossRip – named after Maxwell’s Silver Hammer because the bike is silver

A Midsummer Night’s Dream – a Trek Domane 5.2 – named because it is a dream to ride and I named it in the middle of summer and also named after my favorite play of all time.

“Red Bike”, “Blue Bike”, and “Black Bike”.

New Bike came along, and is primarily black, but since I already had Black Bike, she was just New Bike for awhile. Eventually she became Carbon Fiber Bike, or Fancy-Pants Road Bike.
Blue Bike moved to semi-retirement at my dad’s house in Missouri. She comes out to play when I visit.
Red Bike was stolen. 😡
Black Bike is still around, and is still Black Bike.
It took me about a year after Red Bike’s theft, but I recently obtained Hoopty Bike as a replacement for a short-trip, all-weather errand bike. I am not sure if dasgeh realizes this since I was using my own actual real name, but I bought Hoopty from her (so of course isn’t *really* a “hoopty”)

So between Hoopty and Fancy-Pants, it appears my bikes aren’t just named by color anymore.

My new bike is Mr.Pink or just Mr.P, but that is the All-City Cycles model name, too.

My Salsa Vaya (the “travel” version) is just Vaya. Of course it means “Let’s go!” and that seems to match her personality, always coaxing me out on adventures, ready for anything. And yeah, somehow I know it’s a she, and I do talk about her as though she’s a sentient being.

The other bike (a Univega Modo Volare) somehow always gets referred to as just The Road Bike. Modo Volare translates to “way to fly,” with Campy parts and an Italian heritage. I dunno, even after 15+ years and a whole lotta miles it’s hard to believe we’ve never bonded enough to give it a name.

Last Fall I bought a craptacular GT Outpost MTB for $25 and rebuilt it so that I’d have a bike I could ride through ice and snow during Freezing Saddles. So I named it the Snowmobile.

My Fuji road bike (sadly, the only other bike I own) that I otherwise ride almost exclusively, is simply, my bike. It has no name.

I don’t know any of my bikes’ names. I will have to ask them. :rolleyes:

Sir/Captain/Doctor Sweaty Wagon.

But I just call the black one “MotorBacon”. It would be nice to replace the decals with that appellation instead of keeping the original Motobecane.
