Does your bike not have a kickstand?

Does your bike not have a kickstand?
- amelius 1y agoYes, but the slightest amount of wind will make it fall and this is certainly not unique to my bicycle. It is better to leave a bike in a more stable position.
- rags2riches 1y agoTurn your handlebar all the way to the right side (assuming the stand is on the left) and it will be much more stable.
- do_not_redeem 1y agoJust because you bought a wrongly-sized kickstand for your bike doesn't give you the right to damage people's cars.
- amelius 1y agoThe kickstand is an integrated part on most bicycles, and yes they are often undersized. However, like I said, people think it is normal to park their bicycles against mine, so why should it be different with other vehicles like cars?
- do_not_redeem 1y agoBecause a car isn't a bike. Do you think people should treat cars and bikes 100% equivalently (including such things as whether you can drive them in the bike lane), or would you agree society should treat the two differently?
- amelius 1y agoDepends on the circumstances. When it comes to surface scratches caused by the parking of other vehicles they can be treated equally. PS: your argument is a bit silly. Analogy: all humans are equal; except that does not mean that we should treat all people the same way in all circumstances.
- do_not_redeem 1y ago> When it comes to surface scratches caused by the parking of other vehicles they can be treated equally So you're saying if a stranger damages your bike, that gives you the right to pay it forward and damage some unrelated stranger's car?

- prmoustache 1y agoPutting a bike standing against a car doesn't damage it. Typically the only parts that touch the vehicle are saddle (soft material) and handlebar bar tape or grip (again, soft material).
