Abstract
A bicycle stand, which includes a prop that may be attached to a bicycle pedal. Attachment of the prop to the pedal may be by a “socket-bolt” having a hole in one end and a threaded hole in the other. The socket-bolt replaces the lock nut normally located on the bearing spindle of a pedal. In one embodiment, the socket and prop may include socket and prop having the same polygonal cross section thereby preventing rotational instability of the inserted prop-member. The prop-member may be substantially “L” shaped, thereby providing a ground contact point located below and outboard of the pedal. When the pedal assembly is rotated near its lowest point, the bicycle can be securely tilted onto the prop-member. The prop-member may also be configured to serve as a lever that applies torque to standard mechanic's toolbits.
