And the last question for tonight:

Q8. My bike keeps falling over because I usually load it with fairly heavy things. I impulsively bought a double-kickstand online last night, hoping that it'd help.

Do you have any tips to share about keeping your cycle upright and stationary when you are parking/loading it? (maybe just stationary if it's a trike or a quad) Are there any products (kickstands or other) or hacks that work well?

@ascentale #BikeNite A8. I use double kickstands on all my bikes. You need a wide one, though, like the Ursus Jumbo. The little fold-up ones don’t really do the trick. I park in lots of sand, shell, and dirt surfaces so regular kickstands just don’t work. I also do the cheap parking brake of velcro around the brake lever on my box bike to keep it from rolling away on uneven surfaces. #Ursus #DoubleKickstand #CargoBike #bakfiets #ParkingBrake #velcro https://www.modernbike.com/ursus-jumbo-dual-leg-kickstand-300mm-black?cmdf=ursus+jumbo

@bikescape I did end up purchasing one of the fold-up, kickstands that is one-sided when up. Not sure how wide it is, but hopefully I will find out later today.
