On a 26" wheel you could extend the kickstand so the bike is not leaning. If you had two kickstands on either side this would keep it from falling either side but they wouldn't strike the ground at the same point so lifting it off the ground would just result in the handlebars twisting.

FWIW i have never dropped my bike on the non kickstand side so i'm not sure you would really need a kickstand on the right side.

Hope this helps you.
+1. Me neither.

I really like the idea of the front kickstand. I think that it would work nicely with my Kickback kickstand.
