Bicycle sound generator

A bicycle sound generating apparatus for attachment to a bicycle frame at an attachment location, comprising:

• a flexible elongated member having first and second opposing ends and a longitudinal axis extending from the first end to the second end, the elongated member having sufficient flexibility and length to permit the first end to be wrapped around the attachment location of the bicycle frame with the elongated member second end having sufficient length to extend from the attachment location to an engagement position to permit engagement of bicycle spokes by the second end as a bicycle wheel rotates;
• an aperture in the elongated member;
• and
• a fastener sized to fit through the aperture and having sufficient length to encircle the flexible member and thereby secure the elongated member at the attachment location.

A sound generating method for use with a bicycle, comprising:

• wrapping a flexible elongated member around an attachment location on a bicycle frame, the elongated member having first and second opposing ends and having sufficient flexibility to permit the first end to be wrapped around the attachment location and sufficient length to permit the first end to wrap around the bicycle frame at the attachment location with the second end extending from the attachment location to an engagement position to permit engagement of bicycle spokes by the second end as a bicycle wheel rotates;
• inserting a fastener in an aperture in the elongated member and wrapping the fastener completely around the elongated member first end and the attachment location to thereby secure the elongated member at the attachment location;
• and
• moving the second end of the elongated member into the engagement position.

A bicycle sound generating apparatus for attachment to a bicycle frame at an attachment location using a fastener to secure the apparatus at the attachment location, comprising:

• a flexible elongated member having first and second opposing ends and a longitudinal axis extending from the first end to the second end, the flexible member having sufficient flexibility to permit the first end to be wrapped around the attachment location of the bicycle frame with the flexible member second end having sufficient length to extend from the attachment location to an engagement position to permit engagement of bicycle spokes by the second end as a bicycle wheel rotates;
• a flap portion formed near the flexible member first end by a crease in the flexible member substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
• and
• an aperture in the flexible member sized to receive the fastener, wherein the apparatus is secured at the attachment location by the fastener having sufficient length to encircle the flexible member and thereby secure the flexible member at the attachment location.
