The cards are from bike races (alleycats). When you enter they give you a card to put in your spokes to show you were there. The top tube things are what wethepeople said. The handle bars on most ss/fg bikes will swing around and hit the top tube easily if you drop it or something.
I know there are snobby/jerky ss/fg people out there, but the ones I ride with (up to 30-40 at a time, depending on how good the drink specials are) are all nice folks who go out of their way to help other people both on and off bikes. From what I've seen there are just as many jerks out there who are roadies/recumbent/bmx/non-riders/etc as ss/fg.
