Nice! What kickstand is that? And are you able to load the bike up with that thing deployed?

It is a pletscher kickstand. It is actually made for road touring bikes but works ok on the dummy. It is not centered on the dummy so one side is a little less stable when loading. Still pretty good though, but could be better.
