Does this stand keep the rear wheel free to spin as if riding the bicycle in place. If not, is there any such thing?

NO, the tire or you insert the rear tire or front tire the upright bar that is tentioned with a spring will not permit the tire or wheel to spin free.If you like to hook up the tire so you can free wheel the rear wheel there is a so call Bike stand excercise, that you also can find in Amazon.com. The rear axle is clamped on it's center shaft and the tire will roll on a roller.Hope to have given you your answer.Rgds.Myron

No, this stand locks down the rear (or front) tire. Only purpose is the hold bike up right without a conventional kick stand.

No, the wheel will not spin freely. The stand supports the bike upright. A work stand would be better suited to hold the bike to spin the wheels.

Yes and No > the stand only supports the front or back wheel and it will keep the bike erect if there is no "adventurous" pushes as the back end of the bike or front wheel will rotate and tip it on it's side. My 5 year old granddaughter would inadvertently push it over by playing with the handlebars or "crashing" into it while running helter skelter oblivious to any obstacles in her path. I put my bike in the garage when my granddaughter visits as she always tries to ride it or play with it and yes it did fall on her during one of her escapades prompting the garage storage when she visits.

Yes it does have a bike stand...but make sure you tighten everything really good, but it seems it can loosen overtime.

No. Specific manufacturer no-no's is not to sit on the cycle while in the stand. Hope this answers your question?

Yes, it has two settings. One for the front wheel to swivel 360 degrees and one to lock it straight.

No it does not. Turning involves pushing down on the rear bar so the front wheel is lifted off the ground.

Hello, yes the front wheel does swivel or can be locked in place. Thank you.

Rotates freely... Non issue when using as a stand on a surface or lap really. I only notice if it rotates slightly when folded over and reading holding it in my hand.

I have a flat rear bike rack that attaches to rear of seat and rear tire hub that i attach the basket to it with the plastic screw knobs. To make more secure, i run a bungey cord back and forth a couple times under the basket, hooking it to the bike rack. marion

It doesn't. My son holds the wheel in his hands and the bottom stand part goes between his legs.

Not sure of definition of "free spin" but the bike will coast without pedals moving. The handle bars do not have a rotor that allows them to spin 360 degrees. The bike has both pedal and handle brakes.

No it does not. It stands up with the training wheels on, but when you take them off you have to lean it against something or its on the ground. A flaw, in my opinion.

It seems that if you put the back wheel in the stand, it should support the weight assuming it is not an off axis load.

For the wheel you can put a small block or somthing under it. My wheel has a block under it and it has never fell off. My look out is on the top of my cage so I do not have a problem with it.

It does not swivel, which I like. It's not that hard to push down or pull back to lift the front when you want to make a greater turn. I bought this because the front wheel does NOT swivel. Attaching it to my bike, however, has been a nightmare. I may be returning this.

No. The rear wheels are attached via their axle to the fixed tubular frame. They rotate on their axles, but they do not swivel. If the rear wheels were to swivel, there would be safety and stability issues. The FRONT wheels do swivel to point in the direction of a turn.

No. The stand will keep the bike upright. With the weight of a rider on the seat, it would tip over and probably damage your rear wheel. A proper trainer would probably be what you would need. Perhaps your could borrow one.
