I've got two bikes.
Well, actually, I've got four bikes, but the Brompton and the tandem don't have a naming problem. The other two do. One of them used to be "the green bike", but the other one is green. Age is also not a useful distinguishing mark; I've owned one since 1992 and the other since 2007, but the latter actually dates from the 50s or 60s.
A friend's bicycle has the ambitious name "Bucephalus", perhaps because it's fixed-gear and no-one but her can ride it. So maybe I should give these bikes names?
One of them is the one I have had since 1992. It's a 531-steel tourer in British Racing Green with black forks.
The other is a Triumph (== rebadged Raleigh) roadster in a paler green, redone with a 5-speed Sturmey Archer hub and 650B wheels (the old French touring size).
