Regular  142   Portland |  Subject: Oh my bikes name is ...I've been contemplating naming my road bike. My hybrid which I used for a long time I named Durga Durga (Hindustani pronunciation: [d?u?rga?]; Sanskrit: ??????); meaning "the inaccessible"[1] or "the invincible";durga)[2] is a popular fierce form of the Hindu Goddess or Devi. She is depicted with multiple (variously, up to eighteen) arms[3], carrying various weapons and riding a ferocious lion or tiger. She is often pictured as battling or slaying demons, particularly Mahishasura, the buffalo demon. So I've been thinking about choosing a name for my new road bike. Anyone else name their bike? How did you come up with the name? |

| Expert 2380 Mastic Beach, NY | Subject: RE: Oh my bikes name is ... I named my bike Aphrodite after the goddess of love. I figured if I love and take good care of her she'll take good care me when I need her to. I know it might be going overboard but I thought it was appropriate. |

| Master 1929 Midlothian, VA | Subject: RE: Oh my bikes name is ... "Gertrude." No idea. Came to me while I was still planning on buying the bike. Between test rides. (And the one I test rode each time was the exact same bike at the shop...so I guess I really did name her before I took her home...) |

| Member 390 | Subject: RE: Oh my bikes name is ... First bike is H.B. Green. Second bike is Bike . Third bike Red. Fourth bike T. S. Tri. Might just need a new bike soon to come up with a new. Almost tried to get a new one when I found a crack in my fork but was unable to convence my husband that in order to buy a new fork you needed a new bike. Must think of a better reason for a new bike. |
