Maybe just lay it where no cars might be driving?
Funny thing is car parks have cars coming and going!
The two bikes i saw get run over were fine till a car came along and didn’t see them!
Where do you put your bike when you’re putting the bike stand back in the car before riding?
Id be sat on the bike or at least holding on to it, small stand can just be placed in the boot and the boot closed, the stand is only to keep the bike upright whist i kit up
Lay the bike down somewhere where it won’t get run over, or lean it against something that isn’t your car. (What do you do when you take a break out on a ride?)
Its a car park, cars come and go so chances are someone wont see it and run it over, there’s nowhere to lean it up against that isn’t my car unless your in the same car park and dont mind me leaning it against your car?
When im out on a ride i have no issue laying the bike on the floor as you tend not to get cars out on the trail!
The answer is of course a stick
Yes your right but id like something a little nicer that’s designed for the job
I could get my Man servant to come along and hold the bike whilst i kit up but he tends to get bored standing there whilst im out on the trails plus he has other duties back at home to be getting on with
I’m still struggling personally to see a problem, let alone a solution, but it would be a dull world if we were all the same.
I personally have seen the problem twice, bike laid on the floor, car reversing and not seeing the bike and running it over, just want something to prop the bike upright whilst i get ready and makes it visible to numpties who cant reverse properly!
+1 .
See above comment about being sat on the bike
