Step 22Design and prototype a beefy dual kickstand.
If you really want to rock a party on a Soul Cycle, you need a solid kickstand. I put many hundreds of hours into my bike, and I didn't want some drunk guy knocking it over. Not to mention the fact that I will be integrating a drum machine into the performance system, and need a flat surface to mount it on. The dual kickstand takes lots of engineering, but it's worth it for things like Human Power and bike-based performance.
Of course, it would be easier if I only wanted the kickstand to function as a kickstand. But of course I wanted it to function as a passenger footrest also. This is especially challenging because it has to have both a locking 'up' position and a 'down' kickstand position.
Here are some of the prototyping stages that led to the current aluminum, water cut design.
