ABSTRACT:
A sound producing device, to be attached to the frame of a bicycle adjacent the wheels, the device including a clamp member having a pair of clamp arms, each arm including a clamp head and a handle portion at opposite ends thereof, and being hingedly attached to one another at respective mid-sections thereof such that a biasing force exerted on the clamp arms will push the clamp heads towards one another requiring that a compressing force be exerted on the handle portions in order to pull the clamp heads apart when engaging or disengaging the device. Located in an interior of each of the clamp heads is a gripper insert which is formed of a high friction, deformable material such that the clamp member will not slip or rotate about the frame of the bicycle during use, and such that frames of varying dimensions may be completely engaged by the gripper inserts, thereby enabling rigid, yet flexible flaps protruding from a distal end of clamp arms to contact the moving spokes of the bicycle wheel resulting in the generation of a motor-like sound.
