My Bicycle's Name

I had asked for your suggestions on a name for my bicycle. The suggestions came slowly and uninspiredly. Perhaps that is because I have three and a half readers.

But, as democracy must do, I will plow on, with enough votes cast or not.

The finalists for my bicycle's name, chosen from reader suggestions, are as follows:
1. Ethel - "bikes should be named after old women"
2. Handle Bars and Stripes "it's clever and overly patriotic - like you"
3. Uncle Sam - "it can be nicely shortened but loves the USA"
4. The Widowmaker - "the bike sounds dangerous"
5. Bearcat - "if you ride anything, it better be ferocious"
6. Newton - "when I hear the name, I think genius (Isaac) and pride (your hometown)"

Please, cast your votes for the final decision. ...And by cast your votes, I mean post a comment, let me know what you're thinking. All I know is that if I am going to ride this bicycle, I need to have a name so I can stop using article and noun, the format of 'the bicycle,' gets old.

Alright, let me know.

I realize I am a little late at adding my opinion, but I'd go for SNF...a nice tribute to the hampster we had when we were little, GNF - Golden No Fear. Remember him?? And remember when we had to return him because he bit us too many times??

...On second thought, maybe we were completely uncreative when we were younger and you should go with one of the other names...
