I saw that too about needing to bring a stand and I surmised it was because of storage and the amount of bikes. I have one of the below and just plan on using it. I highly recommend.

Also, the brake bands are worth their weight in gold.
We bought a Click-stand for our tandem, the only sensible solution for a tandem. It is light, compact, and works like a charm. One or our best buys.
