Make An Easy To Build Bike Stand

This easy project solved a big issue for me, and maybe it can help someone else. I needed a way to support my bike while I was working in my shop. It had to be sturdy and dependable in supporting the bike and I wanted it to be easy to move and use.  I was used to leaning the bike on something, and too many times that ended in disaster!

Step 1: Materials Needed

All I needed to make this stand was a few pieces of wood, three to be exact. Two pieces of 1x2's, and a base piece, anything available, about 10in. x 20 or so. For hardware, I used one bolt, 5/16 x 4in, one cabinet hinge (see photos), one piece of conduit about 18in. long, a few bolts to secure the conduit to the wood pieces, and one screw for the one upright that is stationary.

My bike does not have a kick stand, it is always lying against something I want to get to and therefor always in the way, this is great! Thanks for sharing such an easy fix.
