We work to solve the complex issues that have plagued government agencies for years – meeting each problem with the intellect, ingenuity, and experience of our team. We take a great deal of pride in our work and in our name. The kickstandâ€:tm:s elegance is its simplicity -- it is a small mechanical device that supports the weight of a bicycle or motorcycle, enabling it to remain upright and balanced. The kickstand works because it creates stability, shifting the center of gravity and sharing the bikeâ€:tm:s weight. Considering its size relative to the dimension and value of the asset it supports, riders earn a substantial return on their investment.
