Mine always fell to the left. I had quite a few of those mirrycle mirrors break from falls, until I decided to remove the stand. Just a good blast of wind would often be enough to send the bike tumbling. A heavy load on the rear rack would do it too.

While I don't have one now, there are times when having one would be nice. Someday I may try one of those chainstay-mounted models, to see whether they hold up more securely than the behind-the-bottom-bracket model that I used to have.
