nah, we used balloons tied to the rear fender support. tie the balloon on 
both ends and twist it under the fender stay to hold it against the spokes, 
then race against the other kids and when your balloon burst you had "blown 
the engine" and the other kid won....damn there's a game I had not thought 
of in years......
