I pulled the rear wheel off the tandem to take the axle over to an industrial bearing place later this week. I asked myself "What do I have that is strong enough and stable enough support the back end of the tandem?" Aha!
(I looked around for another likely thread to post this but didn't see anything.)

Looks almost like a makeshift track stand, from the motorcycle racing world.
I often rest a bike's non-driveside dropout on another bike's pedal spindle when I have to do any kind of work on a bike's rear wheel or tire. It kind of hooks on there, and as long as the parked bike can't roll forward from having weight resting on it's pedal, everything stays put until I can get the wheel back in place.

He! Actually, it doesn't. I know how to adjust it for centering but it's easier just to flip the wheel over.
