I'm no fan of kickstands earlier, but after all the work on my build-off bike last year and no putting a stand on it, I started wishing I'd had one when I was constantly tying to find a place to lean it. So I too put (on modified) a kickstand on my bike this year.

 

[yoothgeye]

Me, I'm a kickstand liker. I put kickstands on things that don't even need them.

Speaking of which: Do you know why a bicycle can't stand up by itself?


Because it's too tired! Ha hahahahaha woooooo hehe wooop woop...okay, it's an old joke and not that funny...carry on...

I just bought my youth group a bunch of Laffy Taffy and I've been groaning at jokes all morning... this is another groaner.
