Abstract
A bicycle kickstand which is adapted to attach to the cross brace of the chain stays of a bicycle frame. The kickstand is of the type having a housing with a transverse flange at an upper end which extends beneath the chain stays and a leg pivotally attached to the housing. The kickstand attaches to the cross brace by a lower jaw which is attached to the midportion of the flange, an upper jaw and a bolt which adjustably attaches the upper jaw to the lower jaw so that the jaws may be clamped against the cross brace. In a preferred embodiment, each of the jaws includes a concave clamping surface shaped to matingly engage the cross brace and provide a relatively large area of contact, thereby reducing the clamping force required to attach the kickstand to the frame securely.
