Kids asking for the new craze of wanting their bike to sound like a real life motorbike and don't want to fork out for a piece of plastic like this link for it to snap after 17 mins?
WELL...
Get them a can of cola / lemonade on the cheap, shove it in their back or front wheel (don't do both or you'll cause an earthquake) and they'll have fun for hours! (We did)

If you really want to save money, use one from the recyclable bin that the council will refuse to take anyway because it's the wrong type of plastic or metal.....
PS You can also use plastic bottles but a slightly different sound..

Remember the free things you'd get with Kellogg's cereals to put on your spokes?
Reflectors shaped like a cockerel and the little coloured balls that moved up and down the spokes as you rode making clacking noises, great memories! :smile:
I also remember we would stand on a can so it gripped on to our shoe and then walk around making cracking noises! Hahaha I was SOOO cool! Lol

And from a time before aluminium cans and plastic bottles, cardboard through the spokes. Pretty safe, and cleaned the spokes at the same time.

Used to do this when I was younger, but with a plastic carton drink or bottle of water.
I don't think id take the risk with a can to be fair, would end up shredding the tyre :confused:

Fully agree.
I would say this is potentially dangerous too.

Does this only work for a child's bike? or will it work on mine too?

You need to use a beer/lager can on an adult's bike.
