speaking from the experience of making up a word for a name and not taking ourselves too seriously..
pick something easy for people to read, recognize, say, and understand. and pick something you can live with for the rest of your life. denver bicycle co-op and denver bike works are about as plain and easy as you can get.

at bikebike, my fellow community cycles peeps and i had a late night brainstorming session about our name.
we had some doozies, but my favorite that will most likely never get used is one for the newsletter, which would be called the "pedalfiles".

multiple reasons. Does anyone have a good name the
didn't get picked for their shop that they still like
or came up with after it was set in stone. This is
really the only thing that's holding us back right now
since we can't file as a non-profit organization until
we have one.
This is our brief mission:
We are a small group of avid cyclists who, through our
love for the bike, decided to found Battlesteed Custom
Bike Works. Battlesteed's mission is to create a
larger, more knowledgeable and self-reliant community
in Denver through teaching affordable bicycle
mechanics classes in a comfortable, unpretentious
learning environment.
These are other intentions of the shop:
-To hold monthly art shows to support the growing art
community of Denver and advertise our services to new
potential students.
-To sublet space/benches to people (mainly people who
are teaching classes and are involved with the shop)
for their personal tools... we even have a friend
interested in using his space for a screen printing
press which he will teach classes in as well.
Any ideas?!
Thanks,
Jen Nordhem
Denver
