In September 2009, Bike Brake introduced their new bicycle parking brake for use on bicycles not equipped with kickstands. Designed with a low profile to remain on the grip, it is durable, lightweight, and un-obstructive. Bike Brake features two grab tabs to easily lift and extend around the brake lever to keep the front wheel from spinning, greatly stabilizing the bicycle when stood upright. Now available in nine colors Bike Brake fits both road and mountain bikes.
“Bicycles are very expensive and there is always the potential for them to fall when temporarily parked. This can scratch the bike or often the car it rests against,” said Kendall Kelsen, President of Bike Brake. “It takes less time to apply the Bike Brake than to attempt a good bike balance. You can be confident your bike will stay in place.”
Bike Brake can be used when preparing for a ride, taking a break, performing maintenance, or storing the bicycle. There is also a theft deterrent factor when the bicycle is unattended. Bike Brake is distributed through Paceline Products and can also be purchased online at www.bikebrake.com.

I* have some rubber bands at home that will do the exact same thing……

This is definitely a solution in search of a problem.
“It takes less time to apply the Bike Brake than to attempt a good bike balance.” I doubt that, and what happens after you apply this thing? You _still_ have to balance the bike.

I use one when I park my bike at work for the past couple of months. It prevents the wheel from rolling so it just stays where you lean it. Uphill, downhill, it doesn’t matter. Everyone has leaned their bike up against a tree, a wall, the front wheel starts to roll and kicks 90 degree causing your bike to fall on the ground. This will prevent that.
It just works. It’s funny how people bad mouth things without trying it first.
