ABSTRACT:
An improved kickstand includes a resilient ball placed over the end of the kickstand leg. The ball has a bore corresponding in diameter to that of the kickstand leg. The ball is pressed onto the leg, with the latter penetrating the bore. Preferably, adhesive is placed within the bore to assist in securing the ball in place. An uncomplicated and inexpensive enlarged foot is thus provided to a kickstand for resisting the tendency of the kickstand leg to penetrate soft ground when bearing a portion of the weight of its associated bicycle or motorcycle. Advantages include the lack of projecting structure or gaps to entangle clothing, possessions, and vegetation when the kickstand is in the stowed position. Also, the enlarged foot requires no assembly when parking the vehicle, nor adjustment to accommodate the degree of inclination of the vehicle when parked.
