This is the caveman from the arcade game called Time Killers. He is called Thugg. When I was put in charge of unit security in the military, my commander said I had thug like skills in keeping the fighting down. I broke up several fights and one attempted assault with the front wheel of my bicycle before they got me a proper club\Tommyknocker. I also over the years have stopped an attempted robbery and a mugging or two by flailing attackers with my bicycle. So Thugg it is.

Unless you can get the sticker on to their hard hat ; in that case it’s fair game. It doesn’t leave the rig, though

I knew a guy who called his bike Rocinante. And he's not the only one I guess.

That rack reminds me of my first rear rack which has a spring loaded clamp to help secure objects on my Varsity. Of course there was a big red reflector on the back.
