That's how I gently set my bike on its side the first time I had it out. I came to a stop, but didn't have the front wheel straight, and the bike dove to the right side. Luckily, I was able to keep it from crashing down and I just carefully laid it down and then picked it back up and rode off. I haven't looked back since and I learned a valuable lesson. Make sure the front wheel is straight when you come to a stop, or the bike will want to dive the direction the wheel is pointing.
