That's been done in principle with BMX brakelevers. DiaCompe made one
with a little pushbutton. It was hard to do with one hand, but you'd

OK. We are talking two different things. The Click Stand I use is a
fold up device that snaps open like a tent pole. It has a U shaped
piece at the top that fits where the top tube and seat tube come
together. Set the brakes and the bike will stay put unless there is a

Yeah, it does look heavy, but maybe those packs are filled with
marshmallows for s'mores! Just like in backpacking, some folks put a

I sold off 5 bikes this year:
Single speed crossbike
Geared crossbike
All rigid mountain bike
Front Sus mountain bike

I also sold my wife's Mt bike and a bunch of parts. These three new
