A bicycle support mechanism includes a shaft that is connectable to a frame of a bicycle. The shaft is in the form of a hollow tube and includes a top end and a bottom end. A support arm is telescopically deployable downward from the bottom end of the shaft. A friction wheel is rotatably supported by the shaft. The friction wheel extends from the top end of the shaft such that the friction wheel and is arranged to be in frictional contact with a bicycle wheel.
