## The story

Every kid on the block knew the trick: borrow two clothespins from the laundry line, clip a stiff card to the fork, and pedal like crazy. The faster you rode, the louder the motor roar. Doubles from your card collection got sacrificed first, but somebody always used a rare card by accident and mourned it for weeks.

## Fun fact

Kids added a second and third card for extra engine noise until the bike sounded like a lawn mower full of bees.
