Posted on 24. Mar, 2009 by carlos in Contest
I can’t go another day without knowing the name of my bike. We need to be on a more personal level if this traveling thing is going to work out. Click here to see a picture of the bike. Help me!
How to enter (2 steps):
- 1. Tweet this: Free contest to win bike gear from @realgeeksride: http://is.gd/oLYW
- 2. Enter a comment below with my new bike’s name. Make sure to include your twitter name in the comment.
The winner will be chosen by: me picking at random, me picking the best, or a poll. Still haven’t decided. @reply us if you think one way is better.
Contest ends: Thursday, March 26th at 9 p.m. EST
Winner gets: Ergon Bike Ergonomics: E1S bike grips
Visit here for more info on the grips.
Contest rules:
1 entry per re-tweet – shipping is covered by me – no horseplay or tomfoolery
Side notes: I’m testing out how this contest goes; potential for bigger and better later. I won these fancy grips at the BikeHugger.com after-party at SXSWi. Unfortunately I can’t use them, but you possibly can!
If you want your product put into a future contest, let us know!

I like “Belly Runner” or “Porkins” after the late great Red Six. A fat, fearless, flammable pilot.

from @wishes
Horus – : Horus was an Egyptian sky god who is often depicted as a stylized eye. Egyptian falcon statues may represent Horus. Horus is many gods put together. He was the pharaoh’s protector and also patron of young men.
Second choice was Hermes – God of travel who wears winged shoes!
Of course it has to be named after a god …

Levy
or Levée (if you like the french version)
Kinda means to raise up higher. Which is what you guys are doing for geeks everywhere, raising hope for a more bike friendly world. Or the name can just mean going above and beyond.

It’s a bit Dr. Seuss, I know.
I think what you guys are doing is awesome.

I’ve always been partial to the name Fred, and for some reason I think it kind of fits the Surly. Also, have you considered logging your miles as you ride at dailymile.com?
@mikepanic is the twitter name.
