  • Just my opinion of course, but i think spoke cards should be for what they were originally meant for.

    Is that not ironic?

    I mean... spoke cards evolved from playing cards stuck in spokes. Should playing cards have only been used for the purpose that they were originally meant for? In which case, how dare anyone stick them in their spokes.

    Things evolve, it's human nature to use, re-use, create derivatives, change the meaning of, interpret, and basically just muck around with stuff without treating the original use as sacred.

    I really see no problem with it. It's just a bunch of people thinking that somehow couriers are the only people who have rights to something... but why the exception to the rule? Some people ride mountain bikes on the road, some people are even riding track bikes on the road... these things aren't met with scorn... it's accepted that people will do whatever they fancy. So why treat spoke cards differently?

    It's not like having a spoke card (for whatever the reason) is any kind of issue to anyone. Just a bunch of people with their knickers in a twist.
