ABSTRACT:
In common style cycle kickstands, particularly bicycle kickstands by cycles used and parked on dirt or soft blacktop drives, the weight of the cycle when the stand is in cycle supporting position will cause the kickstand foot to dig into the surface. The cycle will then fall over on its side damaging the cycle and if the cycle was on a blacktop surface, the stand damages that surface also. This problem is overcome by the present invention which is an accessory for the kickstand that is constructed from deformable plastic or rubber. The accessory is provided with a passageway slightly smaller in cross-section than the stand leg and foot so that it can be manually pushed over the kickstand leg and foot frictionally engaging the kickstand leg and foot in a tight fit. The accessory is further provided with a flex section to facilitate pliability for manual application and removal and with a splayed foot surface over the kickstand foot surface diffusing the weight of the cycle over a larger area eliminating the possibility of weight digging the kickstand foot into blacktop or dirt.
