Bike stand...
I have been wanting to get stands for the kids bikes for a while now. That
way if mine was on my jack we could still work on theirs. Just didn't like the
idea of paying a lot of money for them. Everything x 2 adds up pretty quickly.
I had read on another forum of someone using a step stool for a stand. I
thought this may be an inexpensive way to achieve my want. I did try a five
gallon bucket but it just didn't work as well as I had hoped. Today I was at
Big Lots picking up a few necessity items and happened to notice a black
thick plastic step stool on top of a pile of top soil (imagine that). It looked as
if it would work well. I then proceeded to search the whole store in hopes of
finding another. After a thorough scan I came up empty handed. I figured
one would half to do. I finished my shopping and headed to the checkout.
Once there I just happened to look down and what do you know. Yes there
was another one. Woohoo! So for $14.00 I bought two of them. Got home
and took them out to the garage to try them out. Perfect fit. I can't believe
I was so excited over two plastic step stools. Here's a pic of the bikes on
they're new stands.
The things I do for my kids... yes even when they
treat me lousy.
