Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

What is this???

My common sense tells me that it is to hold the chain while the rear wheel is removed. I just want confirmation as I do not know for sure.

Correct. It's called a chain hanger.

You know, I don't think I ever once used the chain hanger.
