The other day, as I was walking in town, I noticed a cyclist at the local deli trying to get her kick stand to work. The bike would not say up, as the sidewalk has a slight downward slope by design to keep the water away from the building, and she had the kickstand on the wrong side. She was obviously a novice with the kickstand, but she had a fairly nice bike. Don't know why she had a kickstand. Anyway, I showed her how to lean the bike against the wall and other bike without needing a kickstand. I think bike shops sell kickstands so experienced riders know who to stay away from on club rides, plus it is a extra profit item when they come back to get it removed. They probably just have about 10 they rotate through all the newbie riders. Post Extras
