Were they the closure thingies for bags of bread?

Were those things around in the 70s?

But in short no. Why? What does it do?

May have been a local thing, they just clipped on your spokes, in various colours. Mates used to have competitions how many they could collect.

My mates and I did back in the 70's , and the card in the spoke for vroomy noises

Yep that's the one

Not on my spokes but they were a bugger for brake efficiency. Especially when you nearly had a full outers worth right back up to the lever

I thought Spokey Dokeys were for your wheels and bread tags were for cable outers

 

[damj]

Nar couldn't afford those

IIRC we used clothes pegs to hold bits of folded card to the stays, poking into the spokes. Sounded good...for about 5 minutes.

Bits of cut up ice cream container lids lasted longer..

When I were a lad in t'80s we used to tuck our Grifter's mudflaps up and under, they used to make a great sound until the soft rubber wore through

I never put anything on my spokes, or anything on the bike that wasn't of use. I'm the same now - can't stand tat on the bike!

70s I was too old for that........
