Bikes are okay, I guess.

After towing my B.O.B. trailer with its heavy load yesterday I decided it needs a kickstand for support when parked so it doesn't cause the bike to tip over. That happened more than once yesterday, as it did when I used a borrowed B.O.B. on tour a few years ago. So, instead of PVC I thought I'd try copper tubing that I had lying around. Got the loop built today but need a couple more small pieces and some brackets for mounting. 3/4" pipe might be a little...er, muscular for the job, but we'll see.
