I dub thee... Gromit

I have decided to name my bike Gromit, from the fictional duo Wallace & Gromit.  I’m not big on personification and so it probably won’t stick.  But who knows?  The name may creep back up on days where I’ve reached the limit of exhaustion...

Gromit is a Surly Long Haul Trucker.  When purchasing, the person at the shop made sure to note that my bike weighed three times more than the carbon fiber speedster the man next to me was buying.  It’s a tank!  Durable, steel, and built to haul lots of weight over long distances.

I actually hope the bike picks up some of Gromit’s most appealing characteristics.  When I’m getting a bit too inventive and adventurous for my own good, I’m sure he will look up in silent disapproval and lead me to proper resolution.  I’ll be counting on him!
