the card in the spokes maybe a spoke card, obtained from riding in an alleycat???? that is very common amongst messengers and avid bike culture people in cities. In philly it shows you are "cool". and yes, I have some including one in my paramount rear wheel.

I could be totally wrong, but it kinda looks like that. joel flood philadelphia, pa http://bikeville.blogspot.com/
