My sapphic mountain biking friend always insisted her bikes were female.
Best not go there.
Best not go there.
Are bikes male or female ?

It depends on whether it's a boys frame or a girls frame!

I supose that being a mariner it is natural for all my bikes and cars to be termed she; as are ships.
Ships have been called she for time immemorial, and are often refered to in the feminine in serious publications such as Lloyds List etc.
The use of a feminine or masculine identifier is common in languages other than english, so it is not that strange.
My own preference is to refer to anything that I have an emotional attchment to as she, purely functional items that engender no passion remain it.
I never name things, they name themselves, my BMW 320i was A941OKR and was always called Ocker. Another car was P356JEC, hence Jeck. But mostly things remain nameless in our household.
