Smokin liquid, the Chinese restaurant use to lace the top of my Mai Tai's with that stuff. I was always like a Weeble, wobbled but never fell down.

If you will Google 'Upstand' and 'Clickstand', you will find 2 bike stands that don't attach to your frame, but support your bike by leaning it on them. When you are ready to go, move the bike upright while holding onto the stand, fold it up, put it in your bike bag or knapsack, and off you go.
Mike, you started a really great thread, the majority I am sure can relate to. You Da Man![]()

My daughter competes in Iron Man. She ride like thirty miles every day...so her old dad doesn't have to. She can't stop. Nuts, I tell ya.
Thanks! I saw a kickstand that attaches to the rear of the frame but sticks out almost past the wheel. Is that what you're referring to? I really didn't care for that, kind of messes up the looks of the bike. It may become an option if I drop the bike a few times.
Raleigh and Peugot were the big names back in the day. I had a 12 speed Bridgestone Kabuki.
This bike is 27 speed, trying to find my way thru the gears for the varied terrain..
Ever try a Flick-Stand? I had one and it's the bomb. It simply locks the front wheel/tire straight and the bike will lean against anything.

I've been meaning to start riding my bike again to get into shape for grouse hunting this fall. I have an aluminum frame Schwinn that I bought at a superstore. Probably should have gone to a bike shop but this one does the trick.
I have dirt roads here to ride on and with traffic sometimes it gets a little scary. I do carry my S&W Model 37 as it's light and doesn't weigh me down.
Some nice looking bikes pictured here and this thread gives me some motivation to start riding again.
Just hope he doesn't get that little white ball head from jack-in-the-box.![]()
