Lost relics of your childhood

The Mickey Mantle rookie card last seen in the spokes of my bicycle.

OK, hands up – Who remembers putting cards in their bicycle spokes to hear that lovely tud-tud-tud-tud-tud sound?

If I had kept those cards in mint condition, rather than using them to create an illusion that I was all grown up and riding a Harley, I could trade them today for a real motorcycle to experience again those feelings from my youth.

Instead, I'm putting cards in the spokes of my kid's bike and re-living my youth by sharing those feelings with the next generation.

Will he hate me for this?
