Your bike's gender

Bike are even harder to get to answer to names than cats.

Dutch Bike - Betty - yet again named by the wife (though has a nice ring to it)
:)

the bike or the missus?

The Steamroller is male and the Jackson could possibly turn out female but its too early to tell - hopefully female as this is a potential breeding project.

My Steamroller is a Hermaphrodite

For those of you who give names to bikes, is your bike male or female?

Does it depend on your gender, that is, if you are a boy, then the bike is a girl and vice versa?

Does your sexual orientation matter? If yes, and you go both ways, then what?

Rubbish science.

I thought all modes of transport were female.

The 29'er is called Mary, just like every other Haro owner. However it is male, and he's dead hard, like Boy called Sue.

The Red Baron is my fixed, he's male. Very, very male.

The Rocket is my geared bike. Male, but more of an elegant fop.

The Blue Torpedo is my fixed/time trial bike. Don't know what that is. I didn't like to ask.

Rubbish science.
No, social science. Maybe mental science. Or was it mental rubbish? You're giving me a headache.

my steamroller is a fat female ballet dancer. kinda anne widdecombeish but more graceful

Geekhouse is a petite redhead with emo glasses and a degree in neuroscience from MIT (female- not marty who nearly fits that description)
Canondale is a beastly muscle bound jock from California, as seen often in Venice Beach
Fix/Beater is a slightly stupid male cousin from Stornoway, used to hearty porridge breakfasts and snow.
TT bike is a dainty ballerina.

My bike is my bike. Giving bikes names and genders is one step away from bedwetting imo.

HTFU.

This ^ is the truth.

polo bike, in my opinion, used to be super hawt girl, but then let herself go and is now very much androgynous.
the schwinn is now my bit on the side, an kinda like a MILF

unfortunatly mine would be called Greg and Eddy, I had no choice as that is how they came. I wish they could have ladies names as riding males all day just ain't my bag!

Yep. Put your sisters' panties back in the drawer, chaps.

I'd like to introduce my bright orange Brian Rourke, Mable - she's an old lady but an extrodinary ride. Wouldn't swap her for any of these plastic-fantastic so-called "fixies". Cheap thrills are not for me

When I was a kid, my aunt uncle and cousin gave their car a name. We thought they were weird. They did live in the north.

Naming bikes might be acceptable in places where people speak with comedy accents (come on Platini, deny it) but certainly not in London.

Thread closed.

cliveo, you sound like you are itching to confess. C'mon, go on. You're amongst friends.

I hear Clive's track bike is called 'Pinky'.

Clive did have a name for his bike, he call it an Asshole.

Why, Ed? Pray explain.

Curiously I was asked today by a young lady who works here what i called my bikes.

Do i look like someone who would give a bike a name?

Anyway, bikes are rather like Trigger's Broom.

Why, Ed? Pray explain.

I am all ears....

I heard someone descibe their BMC Racemaster, as the Racemonster. So when its finished my next bike will be called Racemonster......

....untill I disprove this name on my first race.

Well I'm Nancy (straight female) and she's Pinky (straight Female) you may have seen her hanging out on Brewer Street, Soho. Very pink 80s fixed conversion. looks not so good however she's a Flipping Legend!!
