Does such an animal exist?
Time has finally come for me to buy a stand but my DH wants me to look for a storage rack for 2 bikes (he said he might get a bike so plan for the future) that doubles as a stand for basic bike maintenance (small garage). I have the Topeak Flash Stand and it's wobbly since it's so tiny. I also tried working on my bike by putting it up on the trunk rack but the pedals kept hitting the bar even when I have it cantilevered at the furthest point. So far I've been turning it outside down when I work on it and my back just kill me. So.....
Looking at these, I think I'm going to run into the same problem with the bar in the way.

When I really want this to begin with but no, have to accommodate 2 bikes now.

He's making me all confused so I decided to ask the experts here. HELP!
