Abstract
Abstract A removable foot adapted to friction fit on the ground-contacting shank of a conventional cycle kickstand has a base with a top surface from which a sleeve projects, and a sole that is larger than the ground end of the kickstand. The sleeve fits on the shank and is angled with respect to the foot sole to contact properly the ground for support in accordance with the angle or shape of the kickstand shank.
