I installed my new Pyramid kickstand this morning. It was love at first park 
Now my Redline R530 stands upright and steady for loading. I’m thinking the Redline people ought to make this style kickstand standard equipment on this model.
Other things I’ve added:
- Handlebar mirror
- Front basket mount
- Hobson seat
- BMX pedals

Nice!
I’m definitely a fan of either no kickstand or one like yours.
I see bicycles parked with kickstands all the time that fall over just a few minutes later.
I think you are better off leaning a bike against a wall or just laying it down rather than propping it up with a tiny, one legged kickstand.
I think kickstand is two words or maybe two words with a – between them. You went with one word and since you are the doctor….I went with you. : )

Robert…
I’m usually a fan of hyphenating compound nouns. But the trend is toward one word. Take your pick
Shek… This thing is pretty stout. I’ll bet it would hold your xtracycle.

Anyway, I wanted to introduce you to someone. Alex Tetlak is a professor at Truman State University and a bicycle advocate. He was the key person in getting a new bicycle coop there and he is an LCI.
Alex is a great guy and I cant help but think that the two of you would have a lot in common.
His email is on my work computer but I would suggest you look him up on the Truman website and send him a note.
I told Alex about your blog while we were in D.C. so if you tell him that I sent you he should know what you are talking about.
