I am intrigued by Revelo's stick holster. I have a click stand and have been thinking about how to make it quicker to deploy. If I had a rigid stand and just clipped in on my bike somehow... a stand could do double duty as dog defense. Ah, I have a Leki telescoping trekking pole that is about 28 inches long when collapsed, the same length as my clickstand unfolded. That might be a good solution!

Revelo's holster looks like it probably wouldn't work with front panniers. I am thinking maybe something similar could work with the top tube. Maybe the grip of the pole could be up by the stem, easy to grab. Maybe I could tweak some kind of
Top Tube Bag to support the trekking pole's grip.

When using the trekking pole to prop up the bike, I'll need to get the grip connected to that top tube - seat tube junction somehow. Probably again some kind of cloth up-side-down pocket, incorporated into the holster.

Hmmm, this all might just work!
