How do you put a card on bike spokes?

Answer 1

Depends on what you mean.

If you want a nice puttering sound as you ride along, you'll fold part of the card double around a fender strut so that the free end protrudes int the spokes. Clamp it in place with a clothes pin.

For extra points, tie a string between the end of the clothes pin and the handle bar, so that the tension on the string controls the angle of the card against the spokes.

If you haven't got fender struts, try attaching the card by the seatstays.

If you don't want the sound, but is instead going for that Messenger/Hipster style of blinging their bikes by displying cards in their wheels, then it's even simpler. Just interlace a card by running it over one spoke, under the next, then over again, and slide it towards the hub until it sticks.

Answer 2

Cool Motorcycle like soundThis is why a lot of the old cards are worth a lot of money today. Back in the day they were just Baseball cards, not a collectible, and made a cool sound on your bicycle.. You took a baseball card, and fastened it to the frame of a bicycle with a clothes pin so that the card would hit the spokes of the tire. As you rode the bike it made a cool motorcycle like sound! I wouldn't recommend trying it with an expensive card

Answer 3

The short answer:

- No, not in your lifetime.

The long answer:

- It's possible, but you'd have to work real hard at it.

Spokes are usually stainless steel, a fairly tough and durable material. The cards are basically paper.

Spokes are so much harder that you'd have to go through a huge stack of cards before you'd see any damage to the spokes.
