Yeah exactly….I’m going to have to start calling myself Morebikes Jr. so that I can start collecting them like you do. I think I’ll get the Madsen next, then the Xtracycle, and the Fixie after that. For now anyway….hahahaha.

Oh man, I am so jealous. I was really hoping to win one in a contest they just had, but it looks like it didn’t happen. I’ve still got it on my wish list and hope to be a fellow Madsen rider one day soon.

Sweeeeet!!!! Tina Turner – great bike, great naming story! I agree with @bikerly, however – you need a fixie (or flip-flop single speed). It would be totally “you”! After you get a Madsen or an Xtracycle, of course … lol. Thanks for including my bike, D – always an honor!

i just purchased one of the madsen cargo bikes a month ago. I love it, i have three kids (6,4,and 1). I put all three in it and ride around town doing errands, they love it and it gets me out even more with them. Also unlike my old bike trailer, i can actually talk to them as we ride, because we are right there together. Really a great time, i ordered the front tray rack, so i can let my 6 year old ride and when he gets tired, he climbs in and i strap his bike onto the front rack.

I think your names are fine…..I’m still envious of your nice collection, mate.

Now here’s where I’d struggle, I’ve never had an original idea in my life! Lack of imagination see, I just call my bikes “Marin”, “Giant” and “Ridgeback.”

Which as they’re my Marin East Peak MTB, my Giant Defy 2 roadbike and my old Ridgeback 704 MTB which I use for bad weather commuting, you can clearly see my point about a lack of imagination!

My poor old Ridgeback is approching her end of days though the dear old soul. We’ve done some pedalling together over the 20 odd years we’ve been an item. MTBing all over the UK, 3 different commutes for different jobs, now she’s coming to the end of the towpath.

I will miss her. Maybe I’ll get her recondtioned over time and hand her down to my lad. Now there’s a thought…

It’s funny how being a cyclist leads to being a collector of bikes, isn’t it? Man, I’d have a garage full if I totally had my way. I hope you find a nice City (Country) bike for yourself soon.

Wow, it’s like poetry listening to you talk about your bikes. I sure can’t wait to ride with you one day and the the chance to meet at least one from your collection.

I’m feeling left out with you and @morebikes both getting new bikes

I seriously have been thinking about either a mountain bike for winter riding or a city bike (even though I live in the country). I’d love to find a Raleigh 3 speed like I had when I was a kid. I’ve started looking around on Craigslist but not seriously. And then I sort of do want a “fixie”…

I have yet to name either of my bikes. I’d like to. Haven’t figured out what to call them yet. My road bike needs a girl name, I think, and my hybrid probably needs a guy name. Not sure why but so far that’s what they are telling me.
