Bicycle Playing Cards: Standard

The standard Bicycle deck: 52 cards plus two jokers, poker size, with the Rider Back design and the air-cushion finish that lets cards fan and shuffle smoothly without sticking. It is the deck most card games in the world are taught on. We keep it on the shelf for the simple reason that every table needs one. It is the right deck for Baloot or Hand at home, for teaching a child to shuffle, or as the spare deck in a game bag. The cards take a lot of play before they soften; when one finally wears out, this is the cheapest thing in the shop to replace.
