Tired of cuttlefish and octopus commuter cyclists!
Are you sick of being sprayed with ink by eight-armed cyclists who change their skin color to blend in with their surroundings? At first it was cute and kind of funny, but it's getting old. These are worse than salmon, trout, or even swordfish cyclists! And they're definitely more annoying than catfish commuters or bike herring, probably worse than barracuda ( those are the ones that hide behind holes in bridges, and then sprint out when you go by ), not as cool as flying fish bikers ( like ET ), and better for your hearing than bass cyclists ( who have loud sound systems ). Betta bikers are the worst, though, always getting in fights.
I have pictures. This is a an octopus, camouflaged to blend in with a plain wall:
Here's a cuttlefish commuter, using its 250 ppi skin to look like the brick wall it's passing:
This one is a little bit more fred with the bike, but more virtuous as a hiding octopus cyclist:

Do you know why the shark is the apex predator? because of all those teeth which is the first (and usually) last thing everything else sees....
watch out for the shark commuter - fast, and lots of sharp teeth up front!

I've entertained fantasies involving high volume squirt guns loaded with black paint, aimed at the windshields of certain horn happy motorists. I suppose that having six more limbs would assist in my post-vandalism getaway, if I could find a bike with a three crank drivetrain.
That overpriced rolling billboard looks about as comfortable as upside-down barstool, and about as useful as a cloaca on an elbow. That cargo bike, on the other hand...

While you are all talking about predators, I thought I might go a little lower on the foodchain, and talk about the mudskippers. Those things annoy me, but sometimes I would secretly like to be a mudskipper

I read the title and thought it would have something to do with sushi.
