Just use that fence.


Or signpost



Or random bits of maritime equipment



Or bits of stadiums



Or bridges



Or even the ground




Or various historic buildings





Or low walls



Or rocks



A bike leaning against just about anything (or laying on the ground) isn’t prone to falling over. I’ve had more problems with fall overs with kickstands than without.
