Should bicycles have names?
My old Land Rover has long carried the name "Titanic" (same turning circle and just as waterproof!), but my bike is just "the bike".

Should I find a name for it, or after all this time should it just remain anonymous?

I wish! Back at the hospital last Wednesday to have my minging ear hoovered out again . Can't even swim 'till it's fixed. Once it's clear I can start using the Pro-Ear (gimp) mask. Anyone handy for North London want to buddy me for a post recovery dive?

How stupid.

Naming a bike isn't like naming a car - there's no numberplate.

now, if I can only figure out how to pronounce 'JGX' then I'm sorted....

Ah, you've clearly never had the pleasure of dealing with Islington's jack-booted fascist parking wardens! My main reason for using the bike for local journeys (up to 3 miles or so) is that the barstewards can't put a ticket on it

No, I live on a hill. Buying a bike seemed like such a good idea, but then cycling anywhere is too flippin tiring!!!
