Abstract: The invention provides a collapsible bicycle stand for supporting a bicycle in an inverted position. The stand includes two generally similar assemblies which can be collapsed and are sufficiently light to permit carrying with the bicycle for emergency use. The stand assemblies have first and second stand members, one of which has a seat to receive a portion of the bicycle handlebar therein. One stand member has a clearance to receive a portion of the remaining stand member therein so that the stand members cooperate to support each other.
