Anybody else used to put playing cards on the forks of their bike...

[bridgit]

with clothes pins so they'd flap on the spokes & make a racket, cause i did; one day i had so many on the front & rear forks, that i could hardly peddle it but it sounded like a card-board race car when i finally did get it going :thumbsup: plus my mom couldn't hang the laundry that day...for which i got in trouble but it was worth it B-)

anybody else = yes/no :shrug:

ps, got in trouble for messing up the deck of cards too x( :rofl:
