What’s in a name? Well, when it comes to bikes, lots. It is true that some of us spend more time with our bikes than our family, so it makes sense that it’s a fairly personal relationship.You and your ride will have hours of quality time together in its lifetime, through the good and bad. Some people have taken their special bond to their bikes to the next level, giving their two-wheeler a proper title.

Whether it’s a race bike or cargo, everyone seems to like giving their bicycle a personal moniker
Yes! This is Leonora named after #suffragette Leonora Cohen. Bodyguard to Mrs Pankhurst, nicknamed the ‘Tower Suffragette’ & Union leader.
Born in England, she died 1978 in #Wales aged 105! We were inspired by her fortitude, strength & being a light for positive social change. pic.twitter.com/Ly2BuBxRIn

Bessie, Scarlett, Minivan, Lizzie–the names go on and on.
You’d be surprised just how common this is.

This it not to be confused as, say having your own name on your bike. That doesn’t count.
“Are you sure this is your bike, sir? You’re wearing jeans, you don’t look like a cyclist.”
“Yes, officer, look, it has my name on it.”
“Ernesto effing Colnago? You’re nicked, sunshine.” 😂 pic.twitter.com/9Z6bRCMEH7— Simon MacMichael 🏴🇮🇹🇪🇺❤️💙🚲 (@simonmacmichael) May 7, 2022
