Oh, I agree, a bike stand is a great thing to have. Especially one you've built yourself! Very very cool.
But just curious - why do you need to turn your bike upside down to turn the pedals backwards? I usually don't bother with the stand for a quick wipe down, just lean the bike slightly against a wall and pedal backwards. But that's a mtb flat bar. Maybe road bars are too narrow.
Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
