A folding vehicle is adjustable between an unfolded position and a folded position. In the unfolded position, the wheels of the vehicle are in a leading and trailing relationship. In the folded position, the components of the folding vehicle have a minimal footprint allowing for compact storage. In the folded position, the wheels may be in a side-by-side relationship with the majority of the vehicle components positioned between the wheels.

The invention relates to a two-wheeled bicycle stand having at least one foot (6) comprising at least one recess (9), said at least one recess forming at least one cavity upon contact between said foot (6) and a surface, characterized in that in at least one of said cavities a vacuum can be built up and released, and characterized in that the release of the vacuum and/or the build-up of the vacuum necessitates a verification. Such a bicycle stand can be fastened to a bicycle, resulting in improved stability and protection against theft.
