Need suggestions for a bike or cycling related or themed gift for a 4 1/2 year old

The other day my kids and I were playing at a local park and a kid rode by with a card clicking in his spokes. I didn't pay much attention but as soon as we got home my kids were looking all over the house for a spare playing card. Ever since it's been all the rage.

Oh wow, we used to do that. It works with baseball cards, too. I loved the way it made the bike sound!

We would also turn our bikes upside down and get the wheels going fast and "burn" catalpa beans on them. The catalpa tree has beautiful blooms in the spring, and long "beans" later in the summer, 6 or 8 inches long? Or maybe up to a foot long? I just remember we'd hold the beans to the tires and watch 'em disintigrate!
