laying bicycle on the side?
Is there anything bad that can happen to a bicycle if you lay it on the side?
I got panniers and and sometimes fill them fully up. A lot of weight. Why do they say to lay your bike drive side up? I got a mirror and I would mess the mirror up if I layed it drive side up. |
With the bike drive side down, there is a chance of bending the RD hanger, unless a pannier or something else protects it from ground contact.
|
What's wrong with a sign post, tree, or wall?

Laying it down gently is fine. It can't fall over. But like KZBrian said, you don't want your RD in the dirt or on the pavement with the possibility of damaging it or bending the hanger.

Kickstands rule.

My kickstand is useless when I have stuff in my panniers.

+1 on the Pletscher kickstand. It works great on my hybrid with trunk bag and panniers.
+100 on kickstands in general. |
Fuel can leak when a bottle is placed sideways.
