A spoke card, or spokecard, is a card placed in the spokes of a bicycle wheel. They lie parallel to the entire wheel. Most spoke cards are laminated.[1]

Throughout the 20th century, playing cards were placed in such a way as to make a noise as the card flaps against the spokes; however, there is no evidence that these were called "spoke cards."
