I've named 2 of mine. The first was 'Mike', a name made by combining the words 'My' and 'bike'. I thought that was pretty clever. The second was 'Knuckles', after the character from Sonic the Hedgehog 3. I chose that name for several reasons, 2 being that the bike was bright red with white tape and an aggressive forward riding position.
I'm trying to come up with a name for my newest bike at the moment.
If you've named any of your bikes, or if you know anyone who has done this, please share. Alternately, you can mock me for naming mine.
edit: I came up with a name for my newest bike. Get ready for this shit because this is pure fucking genius: Black + bike = Blake. I never thought I would once again reach the heights of "My + bike = Mike", but it looks like I'm on a roll.

Be careful. If you're buying from craigslist, you've got a good chance of buying from a thief or a fence. In other words, you're supporting the same kind of crooks who not only have screwed you in the past, but who continue to make cycling a riskier investment.

Indeed, it is a hazard.
So far I've contacted two people about very nice bikes for cheap.
Asked them for the serial number to make sure it's not hot and never heard back from either of them.
