So did I. Kids today have the hi-tech version:

Yes, even when the bike still had training wheels.

Never owned baseball cards. I may have done this with regular playing cards though. My childhood wasn't one with happy memories so I've blocked them out.

I did the baseball cards. When I was 5 I had a Varoom, which in my day was a little plastic motor with a lever that bolted onto my handlebars. Every time I pulled the lever it would make an engine varoom sound.

Bet this kid didn't need to put cards in his spokes:

Nice, he drives a stick too.

Sure did but I also did it with regular playing cars. There were no baseball cards in Soviet Union.

Nope, I used to just run over a pop can with my front tire and it would get stuck between the tire and the fork. Made awesome noises for about 30 seconds before it fell off

You can make some really loud noises that way (or with a stick jammed in just so) against a knobby mountain bike tire.

My dad built an apperatus that consisted of a flap of stiff plastic from an orange juice jug held in place with hose clamps. It was pretty loud.
