Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of bicycle crank feet, and more specifically to a portable and storable bicycle crank feet. Background Art

[0002] As people's quality of life improves, more and more people will choose bicycles as a means of travel. In order to solve the problem of bicycle parking, traditional rear wheel kickstands are currently used on the market. This type of kickstand is installed on the axle of the bicycle's rear wheel or fixed to the bicycle's rear chain fork through a clamp. It has the advantages of easy installation and use, or it is used as a supporting structure at the bicycle crank.

[0003] However, when the kickstand is installed on the axle of the rear wheel of the bicycle or fixed on the rear chain fork of the bicycle by a clamp, it is heavy and has poor durability. If it vibrates and falls off during driving, it is easy to be dangerous. It also poses a safety hazard to the rear vehicle. If the bicycle is made of carbon fiber, it is not suitable to use a clamp-type kickstand, otherwise it may cause damage to the clamping position of the frame. Alternatively, a non-fixed crank parking bracket solution is adopted, but there is still room for optimization. Therefore, a portable and storable bicycle crank kickstand is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
