Tried to find one of these several times, as being a shafty i reckoned they'd make a superb commuter, but there were never any about when I was looking.

I like the idea of a 'centre stand' that's pretty much at the end of the bike. What is it that makes people think half a bike with a rear wheel following behind somewhat as an afterthought is a :thumbup: design?

(I'll ignore the part in front of the centre stand).
