Re-introduction!

[Feorag]

Hello! I just went to register a new account, and discovered I already had one! I see I posted here a few years ago about mountain bikes. Changed days... I now ride a Pashley Princess because it's comfy, lovely, and I can ride it in my day-to-day clothes including dresses & skirts (... and cardigans!). I also have a Dawes hybrid that I use for further cycles, and as a workhorse that can pull a trailer.

Anyway, I'm in the process of turning my Pashley into a mobile stall for street trading, and am working on making it as robust and stable as possible ahead of applying for my license. I'm trying to find recommendations for stable bike parking stands, so I'll head over to that section...

What will you be selling on your stall? My Elephant bike (ex post office) has a lovely stable stand. Just as well as the bike weighs about as much as a small elephant.

I'll be selling jewellery, and knitted and woven items like that! So the goods themselves aren't heavy, and will be displayed in a suitcase on the back, and a wooden box on the front. I want to be able to demonstrate for the license application that everything is secure and robust, so I really want to find a decent stand for it without wasting money on anything that turns out to be flimsy. Maybe a centre stand would be worth considering?
