Abstract

A mountain bike support stand made of a centrally-positioned, elongate body and four support legs attached to the bottom end of the elongate body is described. The centrally-positioned, elongate body has a top end, a bottom end, an opening along the elongate body from the bottom end to the top end, and a central, hollow core. The top end of the elongate body has a notch for engagement with a bottom bracket axle of a mountain bike. The top end of the elongate body also contacts a bottom bracket shell of the mountain bike. The opening along the elongate body and the central, hollow core of the elongate body accommodate a crank arm of a mountain bike. The four support legs attach to the bottom end of the elongate body and each support leg has a free end.
