If you put a bike somewhere without a side support, it is usually leaned against a wall with one side of the handlebars. The stand is ok, but not bombproof. If you hit the bike, the already scratched handlebar end usually scratches the wall and leaves unsightly marks. Or the bike may fall over and cause collateral damage - for example, a bike falling over in the garage can cause expensive damage to cars. Or anyone who has ever leaned their bike against a car with the handlebars and then expected the bike to start moving again may also have had unpleasant experiences.

This problem is now being tackled with "Gripster". This plug is simply placed on the end of the handlebars and its enlarged contact surface ensures a more secure footing, while the rubber surface ensures that nothing scratches. Be it the wallpaper in your home or your car in the garage. A clever feature of the stopper is the option of docking a racing bike handlebar. The integrated magnet is a further treat: This allows the parking aid to be easily docked onto a radiator, for example.

The "Gripster" is currently in the Kickstarter phase: the developers are still looking for capital for production and, starting at five euros, you can already get started so that you can be part of the delivery this year.
