Which part of your bike do you let touch the lamppost/wall/fence?

When you have to lean your bike against something, which part of the bike do you risk scratching? I've just got new pedals and bar tape(at last), but I don't want to scratch the frame either!

 

[summerdays]

Pannier rack preferably.

 

[Archie_tect]

Saddle edge or handlebar end.

I ask the local youths in black hoods outside shops to hold bike for me. Im on 49th bike now, but NEVER had a scratch.

 

[screenman]

Back tyre.

Learnt the hard way. Bar tape and frame scratch. So try to lie gently and hope it don't move and rub

 

[derrick]

Wheels bars or saddle, Never on the frame

 

[RWright]

saddle

Just lie it on the floor outside the shop like the inconsiderate ones do!

But a lot of nicks.

Whichever bit touches first, unless there's a risk of movement...........but my newest bike must be about 12 years old by now.

 

[slowmotion]

The top tube or the rear mech.

It's just a bike for Heaven's sake, not a Holy Relic......and NO, it doesn't have a name....

I never lean my bikes I just throw them in the dumpster when I am ready to leave I stand outside the shop and someone always hands me a bike
