 Re: Riding in the hood.
Thanks it only took bits of ten bikes to make it work...
For a temporary kick stand, I went with 2 broom sticks one for each side, a hose clamp to hold on a flat bar with a hole in the end. The hose clamp is so that the bar is adjustable. The bar bolts to the outside of the rear axle. One broom stick on each side with a slight outward angle. The broom sticks hold the bike upright and very steady. I can take off the broom sticks quite easily and then toss them in the basket till I need them again. I intend to lock the bike to a pole and lean it on same, but now and then I probably will need the brookstick kicker. I need it in my shop for sure. I can rotate them on the axle to move it around then set them to hold the bike. It seems to work pretty well. I feel better with the bike not leaned over but sitting upright. |
