Most of us will lean our bikes most anywhere and time after time, they fall over.  Heck, I have multiple work stands around my house but at least one bike is usually leaning against something it shouldn’t be (walls, furniture). 

In the search for inexpensive solutions, I’ve tried those little half moon looking bike holders, some of which are on wheels (though I’m not sure why) but none of which do anything but guarantee the bike will fall over if anyone even looks at it the wrong way.  I’ve seen some folks bolt those silly things to 2x4’s and plywood, strap bikes in with bungee cords or just construct their own using far too many parts.  Sometimes it works out but most of the time it just results in more parts to fall over or tear up the floors in the living room.

After a charity ride a while back I met a guy with a new product called the EZ Bike Stand.  It’s simple, it works and it’s reasonably priced.  The EZ Bike Stand is made of sturdy composite material, has a weighted base so that your bike won’t fall over and is adjustable to accommodate tires of most any width.

The EZ Bike Stand is great for use at home but is portable enough to take with you (no more leaning bikes against cars, trees, other bikes) and can also be used while maintaining your bike (you lube the chain and check the air pressure, don’t you?).

Check out the video at http://www.ezbikeproducts.com/ for all the uses of the EZ Bike Stand you can think of and a few you (or at least I) didn’t.

Problem solved for $40.
