Suggestion For Name for Bike

Do your bikes have names?

My Tourer is called Gulliver - Because it goes on lots of travels and happens to be a Giant.

My Commuter is called Walter - Because it is a Raleigh.

What should I call my Peugeot Racer?

Love and names from Rich x

How about the Fast Frog?

Failing that call it Gerald. Always a safe name.

That's a lot of chaps to get the leg over (rather you than me). Hope you take the proper
precautions.

I call my Peugeot Racer "Broken", thanks to the actions of a Volvo driver! Well, as well as getting
himself 6 points, a record, and a fine, his insurance paid for a new and better bike, double
glazing, and a few quid for a drink! I could still have done without the broken hand though!!!

My bike is called the S.A.W or Silent Assualt Weapon. This was named by my mates after I acclerated
out of the underbrush into the path of several unsuspecting ramblers giving a few, I think, a mild
heart attack. My bike is rigged for silence anyway, I have no idea why but it's the way I like it.

As for your Peugeot Racer, why not go for Pierre. It is French after all. Oui Oui.

There's a psychological reason that all the machines I ride have girly names.

My 20" unicycle is called Sally (despite being a Ringmaster).

My 26" Muni is called Melissa (or usually Mindy for short).

My 36" Coker is called Cindy.

My ultimate wheels don't have names.

My ATB is called Nemesis. She was named for the Greek goddess of revenge. When my previous bike
(Beelzebub, OK so that's not a girly name) was stolen, my mind was filled with thoughts of revenge
and the only thing I could do was to get another bike and keep cycling.

My Street Machine is called Helga, which is just a name that springs to mind when I think of
something heavy and German.

My bikes don't have names, I refer to them as The Merckx, The Peugeot and the touring bike. My
mountain bike which I no longer have was known as The Pink Peril, my mate Vince W gave it that name.

Some do, some don't. My MTB and my tourer are referred to as the mountian bike and the tourer,
respectively, but my recumbent is almost invariably known as the Flying Banana, and the triplet is
called the Megabike. Not really a name, but it's what we call it. My car has a name as well: Ovlov.
After five years of faithful service and having passed 150,000 miles it's starting to feel like one

My Baron is called Cosimo the Stealth Baron. Cosimo from the lead character in Italo Calvino's
"Baron In The Trees" (he lives in the conservatory, which used to be so infested with plants that it
was difficult to find him. "Stealth" due to his colour. The revell Romany does not have a name, and
neither does the Speedmachione, though if it did, it would be called "Hobbs".

Robert, pronounced inna-garlic-scoffing-wine-swilling-lout-stylee.

And could be mis-heard as "Roberts" - slang for tits in France, if Cycling Plus is to be believed...

To further amuse the French, why not call it "MR2"

What's the naffest actual name put on a bike by a manufacturer? a few recently spotted: Stealth
Bruiser Intense (touring bike?) Guru and the incredibly imaginative Free Spirit range; e.g FS 26
Index 18 (I took the Echelon stickers off my Falcon before finding out what one was!)

I'd have to say a Claude Butler from a while ago, called a "Pagan". White, with wavey pink stripes
too - nice.
