  1. I assume the thing bike shops use to hang bikes by the seat posts are
    called vices. I think I remember reading that unicycles should not be
    put in them. If not, why? And also, uh oh, because the bike shop just
    put mine in one.

  2. I think the ones *made for bikes* are called workstands. A vice will
    tend to crush your tubing. A bicycle workstand will be made to hold the
    bike by the tubing without crushing it.

  3. i'vew only seen the work stands that grib by the seat post. you should
    be fine. seatposts are fairly sturdy, that's why they get clamped and
    not other tubes.
