So, I'm a little confuse-d. Do we base the card around a postcard, or just make a regular (or not) ol' spoke card?

I didn't think you had to follow the format. I hope you meant that it was just a suggestion. Let me know. Thanks.
Edit: I made it the size you said but that was it.

dont have to be a fixed gear, but fixed riding is a lot of fun try it sometime

dont have to follow the exact format, but it is a postcard-spokecard, take it as you will, but if its just a picture of your bike on one side and a picture of your favorite bar with a bike pile outside, well thats hardly a postcard. like i said before the idea is to get people to visit your locality, and have fun with making your design.

If you want dependable online retailers for overseas shipping, try www.on-one.co.uk . They have a bunch of cool stuff for reasonable prices.
