Using a bike stand safely - can it be done solo?

[rc51ny]

I place a couple of 2x4s on the ground, but the kick stand on the 2x4's be then its almost centered, then I just align the rear stand and go ahead.

YEP--that 's how I do it solo. Put the bike on the stand in seconds--very safe!

how do you lower it down then? Lowering will be more difficult alone
