This page has instructions for making a kite whistle, which you might have already seen by now. The pictures there need to be clicked on. In the end, though, such a whistle is a piece of bamboo, plugged at both ends, with a slit opening. You could experiment with a small glass with an analogous cover, blowing air above. Again at bike speeds you are not going to produce a sound that anyone would notice.
