'Keeping positive' or 'I need a cycling nick-name'

I don't want this to be a space to rant. I don't want to give that impression. By and large I am a  positive, calm, up-beat sort of guy. 

So having said that I was thinking 'All serious cyclist have a nick name' ... it's true. So I'm a serious cyclist (at least in my little world).

So here it goes ... a list of cool cyclist nick-names:

Fausto Coppi – Il Campionissimo (The Champion of Champions)

Eddy Merckx – The Cannibal

Fabian Cancellara- Spartacus

Miguel Indurain – Miguelón (Big Mig)

Thor Hushovd – The God of Thunder

Marco Pantani - Il Piratá

Danilo DiLuca – The Killer

Jan Ullrich – Der Kaiser

Tom Boonen – Tommeke

Mark Cavendish – Manx Missile

Lance Armstrong – The Boss

Alberto Contador - El Pistolero

Dennis Menchov – Denny

Ivan Basso – Ivan the Terrible (not to be confused with “Birrilo”)

Cadel Evans – Cuddles

Of course I still struggle with what I would like to be called as a cyclist. I've referred to myself as 'The Boat Anchor' and 'Wheel Sucker'. I really like 'Spartacus' but I'm not a fierce warrior and/or leader. I'm more like Spartacus' red headed second cousin 'Tommy-Bob Spartacus'.

So I  translated a few of my self imposed nick names. All of them came out too long to remember. My favorite is this; 'pollone della rotella' ... 'Wheel Sucker' in Italian. The word 'Pallone' means sucker ... nah that's no good. I'll have to keep on working on this obviously.

Music": No music this AM. All is quiet in the house of pollone della rotella.
