The first stage is over! Thanks to everyone who suggested potential names - I lost count somewhere after around 50 different names. Some were clever, some were funny, some were...interesting. But I appreciate the effort. So the final thing I'll ask of you now is to vote on your favourite out of the final 5. These 5 got chosen by a very complicated selection process. Obviously that's a lie. These are the names that either got suggested multiple times, or that I thought were particularly good. I'll give you the quick run down: Lola - 4 different people offered this as a potential name - that makes it a popular choice already, and I do like the idea of being able to sing a song about my bike. Sam - Suggested twice, plus it's kind of androgynous - Suzanne pointed out it could be Samwise Gamgee, or equally Samantha, both of which I like! Odetta - Based I guess on the singer, it's a pretty cool connection Mathilda - Watch the film 'Leon' Billy - C'mon now, who doesn't love Billy the Bike? So please vote below!

Aw man - c'mon Lola! When the rain is pouring down and you are starving, you'll still get a kick out of saying to yourself 'i'm gonna go for a ride on Lola'!
