What would you call it?

I quite like Couloir myself. In a Rapha-esque poncy kind of way.

Or 54 Teeth...

Or Hohtälli

Yep, it's Friday.

    Couloir as in corridor? Why?

    I have no idea what I'd call mine, but then I am entirely un-creative so it's no great surprise.

    Your site doesn't really work for me... well, it doesn't work for me at all. I can see the folding bikes, and that's about it...

    Dunno, summat to do with ride

    The ride of your life?

    Or bondage/marriage (and also dead cute family-orientated bikes)

    Saddled with you.

    Or summat to get everyone on bikes (needs targeted marketing but, done right, it could work)

    Simple cycles...

    Or, if you set up business in Cornwall...

    Pedallers' Cove

    Or...nah, last beer and bed...

    :cry:
    Looking for a cycling buddy?
