  1. Out of curiouty where did the saying come from "real bikes don't have kick stands".I guess that must make my hybrid an unreal bike. When I brought it, it had no kick stand so i fitted one and for the period of time while it had no kick stand i hated it it was a complete pain in the bum to me parking it anywhere was a balancing act where with the kick stand i park it anywhere now without fear of it falling over and gettin srctached or dirt in the parts.

    So who came up with this weird saying

  2. This post looks familiar [img]cycling.net.ausmile.gif[/img]

  3. If you've got a rear tire, you don't need a kickstand.

  4. well ive checked my bike and it has a rear tire

    but how does that mean my bike wont need a kick stand

    and if so what about the fact i have panniers that weigh and pull hte bike in deifferent directions

  5. Okay, fair enough... if you've got big ol' panniers, they might get in the way. But most bikes, all you've got to do is rest the rear tire against any solid object - wall, post, tree, your grandma's walker, whatever - and it'll stay put. It's all about the triangulation 😉
