I just watched that video with a slackjawed look of confusion and dismay.

What would rip would be to actually do a dual slalom race with one of these attached to your bike. It would annoy the hell out of just about everybody.

Shit if I was a kid I would totally buy that. My grandad's old Honus Wagner card in the spokes of my huffy wore out quick.

Incredible to think that, after all those years, someone has improved on the decades and decades old techniqze of sticking playing cards in your spokes, but has managed to package it in a horribly annoying way.

I bet replacement cards don't come cheap.

I should get one for the Triumph so it sounds as good as it looks when I'm pushing it or riding it downhill.

it DOES make your bike faster, it is scientifically proven.

Now I have to know…

Checked the website, three dollars or three Euros for a set of three cards. That's not out of line with what the oldschool alternative, trading cards, sell for these days.

The whole thing is $20, not bad. If I was a kid I would totally want one.

I wonder if you put six of them on there if it would sound like Mike Hailwood's old RC166 Honda? Build a replica pedal bike version maybe?

I can do science too, mate.

I can do science, me. However, the grammar difficult is, more.
