When you don't own a bike stand...

A chair and a table work quite well when you need to pull a wire from your down
tube..lol

I don't quite understand the need for stands. When I had a display I had to design a mount where loosening 2 screws would let me flip it down. But the bike stands fine on the seat and the handlebars. Works in all locations, like out by Hwy 3 the last time I had a flat. Or by Bethany road the time before that. Or last week in my back yard where I removed the broken front fender and installed a new one.
Maybe because all pro bike shop employees & owners are huge and it hurts their back to bend down? The same reason there is not a single frame in the local shop that will fit me except the single speed pink Hollie Hobby one?
