Anyone use one of these
Thinking it might be useful to park the bike in between the two cars on the drive, where the side stand angle makes it a bit of a struggle (no centre stand :()
Any long term implications would you think?

I use the heavy duty chock for transporting bikes and it is great. I would still suggest a strap on either side as the bike still leans but your best option would be tpo reverse the bike in as the back wheel is sturdier than the front

I think it puts the sideways weight of the bike through the front wheel and also I would worry about the steering not being locked. I can see what you mean about using it to stabilise the front when strapping bike up to transport. Might be useful if there was one that the back wheel could slip into instead?
