My bike's kickstand slips down whenever I go over a bump. How can I make it stay in the 'up' position while I'm riding?

Thanks for your help!
 
the way the kickstand stays up is just due to friction. Icreasing the force that keeps those pieces together will also increase the friction, keeping your kickstand up. You will need to bend the bottom lip of the cup (away from the bike) that the kickstand rod pivots in. This will make it so more force is required to push the kickstand down.
