Introducing -- Her Satanic Majesty, Lilith

Thank
you, readers, for suggesting "Kibby," short for "kick-ass beauty." Other
suggestions were:
* Emma / Mrs.
Peel
* Agent
99
However, after a foolish and brutal
ride today down Historic Route 66 in 95 F+ weather (remember I've done no
serious riding for at least two years,) that involved a bus, a subway, and
dehydration (yes, I tried this without water. Yes, I know.) I plopped down on my
couch and referred to her as "Her Satanic
Majesty."
Younger Son looked up and said,
"Oh? You've named her Lilith?"
Well, yes,
I seem to have done.
It's not because she
seems like the enemy; on the contrary, she's smooth. Inviting. Seductive. "Come
on, it's just another hill. You can take it easily in my first gear..." "What's
a fifteen mile run? in the heat? Net uphill? Come on, it'll be
fun..."
Parched, coughing and shaking, I
gave up after five miles, and took the bus and the subway home. H.S.M. Lilith
was seducing strangers all the way; I don't recall ever getting so many
questions, admiring comments, etc. with
Momo-chan.
On the plus side, she does fit
bus bike racks just fine. And her first gear really does make it possible to
keep going up steep hills even as out of shape as I am right now.
On the minus side, I'd better be super
careful about locking her up, or she won't last 4 years.
