What percentage of the people complaining about this are blokes?

Is it ok for women to call their bikes "she"?

Is it better or worse than calling bikes things like "killer", "weapon", "KOM slayer" or whatever?

"The fucking red one" is how I usually name my bikes.

For me, it's not just "she", it's any gendering or talking about a bike like it's a person. It's just a bit cringe.

I dunno. I see a lot of people do it.

It doesn't bother me if someone has shared experiences with a bike and do stuff like "we're gonna get through this Betty" or whatever.
