I Named a Bike

I've never been one to name my bicycles. I know some people who give them names. I've never understood until today.

I rode my Red Raliegh 3-speed to work. It's a bit tall for me so when I stop I know the top tube is right there. For some reason the name Big Red popped into my mind. I immediately snickered, because the name seems to mock the Nebraska Huskers, also known as Big Red. That's where I went to college. I didn't exaclty become a big football booster while there. Instead I saw the football games as a great opportunity to ride my bike on nearly deserted streets.
