Just caught a glimpse at these stand out cards. they are bikes in a bright flourescent yellow. THe lettering is in black, and when fanned face up they look vibrant and striking. I am going to buy myself a pack tonight. They are great at attracting attention.

Not to be sarcastic:

But do you really need a yellow deck of cards to attract the crowd?

I'd love to see a deck of yellow backed Bicycles (ie: like the reds & the blues), but with regular faces.

I had a packet trick (Painted Packet, I think) a couple years back where the finale consisted of green, yellow and blacked Bicycle cards. I didn't care much for the black card, but always thought how nice the green & yellows were. (I've since picked up the green back Bicycles)

I love my Bicycle decks with standard faces and differently-colored backs:
Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Black, Tactical Field Olive, and Tactical Field Black.

The Yellow deck's back is perfect, but it's too bad the faces are reversed. Yellow is definitely the most-missed color from this list (though Purple would be good to have, too). And a 'White' Ghost-style back with standard faces would also be a fun addition.

The reverse-face decks: I've used a card or two in different effects, but I feel a full deck with reverse faces just looks too gimmicky and arouses too much suspicion. For some reason, it's a lot easier to sell the idea of a different-colored back than it is a reversed face.

The backs and card box are gorgeous, but the faces, sadly, are horrible. If you look carefully at some of the court cards and the Joker, you'll see that production isn't very good, the 'yellow fill' misses a few spots, especially on that Joker! It looks horrid!

I intended to use this regularly, but upon viewing the faces I think not. As I collect decks, it's going into the collection, but I was quite disappointed overall.

Its also hard to work with them unless you are paying 1000% attention to each move you make.for example d.l. its very easy to flash your secret with those yellow faces.
The yellow and the red deck had found a place in my collection of bicycle cards,but that's about it.Even the gaffed cards ,which are included, wont change the fact that I would never use those cards in performances.
I would like to see normal bicycle cards with those yellow backs aswell!

I think they are not worth it.people might think they are gimmicked.

They might think that the cards are gimmicked, but I sometimes use different coloured cards anyway.

Mogwai, no I don't need the cards to attract attention, but I just thought that they'd be interesting and different, that's all.

I didn't know the quality was bad on these either, thanks for that. My pack is OK, but I agree the Joker's fill is shoddy.

Seems like a lot of card magicians would like to have more odd colored backed Bicycle Rider decks with regular faces. I wish the USPCC would print a rainbow deck like this, but I guess it would be nearly impossible - 52 different colors or shades.

The only yellow backed Bicycle Rider card I've ever seen came with John Bannon's "Stranger's Gallery".
