I'm a student entrepreneur and keen road cyclist looking to try and design a kickstand for a road bike. Internet research mainly focuses on the cons; weight, drag, lack of style etc. however I propose to design a stand which rests parallel to the rear wheel in order to divert air away from the rear wheel spokes, subsequently reducing drag. The stand aims to amplify the performance of a road bike whilst increasing its practicality in day to day use such as commuting to work. If anyone has any feedback or suggestions regarding this idea I'd be very thankful.
