spoke card
A spoke card, or spokecard, is a card placed in the spokes of a bicycle wheel. They lie parallel to the entire wheel. Most spoke cards are laminated.〔Charles Haine. (''The Urban Biking Handbook: The DIY Guide to Building, Rebuilding, Tinkering with, and Repairing Your Bicycle for City Living.'' ) Quarry Books, 2011. Page 178.〕
Throughout the 20th century, playing cards were placed in such a way as to make a noise as the card flaps against the spokes; however, there is no evidence that these were called "spoke cards."
==Origins==
One origin of the spoke card was laminated cards inserted in spokes with numbers used to identify competitors in competitive races held by bicycle messengers, in official competitions and in unofficial alleycat races.〔FixedGearGallery. (Subject: Spoke Cards. ) (retrieved 8 Jan 2015)〕 Tarot cards with the racers number written on them were used initially,〔Dillon, Phillip. ("The Tarodome Alleycat." ) 17 July 2009 (retrieved 21 Nov 2009)〕 but nowadays cards are often custom printed.
Another influence was the practice of placing playing cards found on the street in bicycle spokes in a game known in 1990s San Francisco as Spokepoker.〔King, Parté. "Spokepoker." ''Mess Press.'' Issue 1, 1991: 5.〕
