Conventionally, as a stand of this type, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, both leg members 101 are flipped up during traveling, and as shown in FIG. 10, both leg members 101 are raised when the bicycle is parked, and the rear wheel 102 is lifted from the ground. There is a two-legged type that can be floated. Such a stand 103 is rotatably attached to the rear portion of the body frame 105 of the bicycle 104 at the standing position A and the flip-up position B. Further, the stand 103 has a pair of left and right leg members 101 and a grounding member 106 provided between the tips of both leg members 101.

According to this, when the bicycle 104 is parked, the driver 109 gets off the bicycle 104 and rotates the stand 103 from the flip-up position B to the standing position A. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9, the driver 109 landed on the ground on the left side of the bicycle 104, opened the right foot 107 to the rear of the bicycle 104, and flipped up the toe 108 of the right foot 107 to touch the ground of the stand 103 at the position B. While hanging on the member 106 from above and stepping down on the grounding member 106 with the toes 108, the toes 108 are moved to the front of the bicycle 104, and the stand 103 is flipped up from the flip-up position B (see FIG. 9) to the standing position A (see FIG. 10). It is rotated to.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 10, at the standing position A, both leg members 101 of the stand 103 stand up, and the bicycle 104 is supported by the stand 103 with the rear wheels 102 floating from the ground.
