By the way, I like that frame!
I'm not sure how it is where you live, but in NYC a lot of people who have bikes (particularly fixed gear) use them as their primary mode of transportation - so you see them out being ridden, and you see them locked up all over the place. Spokecards are issued at alleycat races when you enter, and one reason to have them is showing 'i was in this race'. I'm part of another bike forum and I made us a spokecard to identify other forumgoers who may not know each other in real life. Both of these end up being good conversation starters, I ran into a guy with a Bike Fetish spokecard and I ended up being 'oh, wasn't that a great race, do you know so-and-so' and things like that. I also have a couple of stupid ones with drawings my friends did, and I did a spokekcard exchange here on BF. Sort of like bumper stickers, I guess.
