Small, elegant single bike stand
Not fixed specific but looking for something that mirrors the simplicity. Just a single bike stand that site on the floor and keeps bike from tipping over. Basically the smallest thing that is robust enough to actually support the bike without being affixed to anything. Suggestions?

Non omnino gravis
Could be smaller, but I made it out of scraps. It's served us well for 3+ years. Does double-duty as a front wheel holder when a bike is mounted in the trainer.

Alternatively, you could look at any of the gazillion bike photos taken with (insert random item here) placed under a pedal to hold it up. If the bike isn't in a high-traffic area you could use anything from a human skull to a coffee can, depending on your aesthetic sense.

There is the one that looks like a rubber coated tuning fork and holds bike by the hub.

Gear up grandstand is cheap and pretty small. Small to me might be big to you though.

I have two "Nashbar stand by me"
https://www.bikenashbar.com/cycling/...me-na-sbm-base
Works well, small footprint, and low cost.
Since it elevates the rear wheel it can also be used for cleaning chains, making gear adjustments, etc.
