^^ This.

I thought the same thing. I want to rig up a optical encoder to a bicycle tire and use the output to drive the engine simulator - make my bicycle sound like a sports car.

Way overengineered... Back in my day we were happy with sticking a plastic bottle between the tire and frame :)

Looks like kids still do it today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWRv17qvM0s

Granted, but can a plastic bottle be modified to make my bike sound like a Star Wars speeder bike?
