On Naming Your Bicycle: The Infant Postal service of Wheel Names
One of the posts people read frequently on this blog is Say My (Bike's) Proper name: On Naming Your Wheel, in which I described my tandem partner's affinity for naming bikes and my ain tendency not to do and so.
That bike naming postal service received cracking comments about people's processes for naming bikes equally well as their bikes' names. I liked them so much that I thought they deserved their own post, rather than being an addendum to my original remarks.
Below y'all volition find the "Baby Post of Bike Names," a commencement attempt at capturing the bike names shared on Chasing Mailboxes. Thanks to all contributors.
Relish, and if you take a name to add please do then in the comments. I will update the post accordingly.
Past the way, the name The Large True cat stuck so our Co-Motion Java Tandem is oft referred to equally such. Meow? Rawr!
