AG: Parking on a Pole

He'd squeeze the front brake lever, then cram the wedge into the lever's opening to hold that brake on. The front wheel was then unable to roll and the parked bike was much more stable. Blackburn picked up the idea and sold them for a while. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5087/...71eb9ec3_o.jpg But they're easy to make. For a while, there was a wire loop called a Flickstand for immobilizing the front wheel. It worked very well, but was incompatible with fenders and soon vanished. -- joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ The above message is a Usenet post.
