Y’all name your bike(s)?
Curious if I’m just weird or if it’s actually a thing.
My baby is Iris, after the U2 song Iris (Hold Me Close).

My bike during college I called Grace. My current bike is Grace Too, as a nod to the old bike and I'm a fan of the Tragically Hip.

My take, is that it is both weird and actually a thing. Those of us who think it's awful to routinely name inanimate objects will generally not say anything out of politeness though. But certainly do not expect me to acknowledge or use the names you have given you bikes (or cars, knives, musical instruments, etc).

Been riding my hybrid I named David for years, but haven’t named any of my more recent bikes. I am not one to normally name inanimate objects, but if a name comes to me and I feel like it fits, then I’ll use it.

Mine is called Tarmac. I tend not to rename them from the breeder as it confuses them.
