Bicycle stand

A folding stand for locating a bicycle, the folding stand being foldable to a folded configuration and deployable to a deployed configuration, the folding stand comprising:

• at least first, second and third members;
• the first member being a lower member in the deployed configuration of the folding stand and having a front pair of cooperating locating surfaces and a rear pair of cooperating locating surfaces for locating the wheel of a bicycle between the cooperating surfaces;
• the second member being a rear, generally upwardly directed member in the deployed configuration of the folding stand;
• the third member being a cross-member in the deployed configuration of the folding stand;
• the first member being pivotally connected at a first end to a first end of the third member;
• the third member being pivotally connected at a second end to a first end of the second member;
• the first member being connectable at a second end to the second member;
• such that the folding stand can be folded to the folded configuration by disconnecting the second end of the first member from the second member and folding the first member about the pivotal connection with the third member and folding the second member about the pivotal connection with the third member, wherein the first, second and third members are stacked generally one above the other in the folded configuration;
• and
• such that the folding stand can be deployed to the deployed configuration by unfolding the second member about the pivotal connection with the third member and unfolding the first member about the pivotal connection with the third member and connecting the second end of the first member to the second member, wherein the first member is generally horizontal, the second member is generally upwardly directed and the third member is generally inclined to form a cross-member between the first and second members.
