Trying to figure out how to use this, looks like some sort of wheel lock, but not sure how to use it...

Thanks!http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rFnXZUx3BwQ/TKo8SJrKYNI/AAAAAAAAB04/2UPOIdr4lfw/s1600/DSCF0692.jpg

It's a parking "lock" for the wheel. Flip it down and lean your bike against something; it keeps the front wheel from swivelling and crashing the bike.

Cool! A built-in Flickstand- I'd only seen the bolt-on type. Extra points for integration with the cable stops.
