Use Cards, They're Cheaper and Don't Invite Ridicule
We didn't need no stinkin' glow spokes. We attached playing cards to our back wheels with clothes pins so they'd sound like a motorcycle...well, to a kid it sounds that way. The ad shows a teenage boy with Glow Spokes on his wheels and talks about their "dazzling display of color." But I'd be willing to bet that any boy who put these on his bike would be taunted so unmercifully that the things would be in the trash by the end of the day.

Wow...I never knew why we put cards on the spokes. I just did it because everyone else did. Of course, when you're a kid, the more noise you can make, the better. Another trick my older brother taught me was to nail soda bottlecaps to the heels of your shoes so you could make more noise when walking to and from your seat at the movies. That was almost as much fun as spitting Atomic Fireballs on people from the balcony!
