A support stand for supporting a bicycle having a bicycle frame and a rear wheel, the support stand comprising:
- a base;
- a pair of lateral support members extending upwardly from the base in opposed relation to each other to define a wheel receiving channel therebetween, the wheel receiving channel extending along a channel axis, each lateral support member including a pair of side segments extending from the base in spaced relation to each other, with the pair of side segments extending from the base in a manner such that the pair of side segments converge toward each other as they extend away from the base;
- and
- a pair of flanges extending from respective ones of the pair of lateral support members, wherein the pair of flanges each define a distal edge positioned away from the corresponding lateral support member, the distal edges being arranged in a non-parallel relation to each other, the pair of flanges being arranged so as to be engageable with respective opposed portions of the bicycle frame to support the bicycle frame with the rear wheel off the ground and the rear wheel adapted to be received within the wheel receiving channel.
