Having a bikestand is nice but is hardly a requirement, if you don't want to bend over you can flip the bike upside down, or hang it from some rope from a tree... or a couple hooks in the ceiling. Tie the string to the saddle and the stem and wala, a bike stand.

Also you bought this bike to use, not to flip to make a buck so there is nothing wrong with having to invest a few bux into it, in reality the parts you probably need are the equivalent of one tank of gas! Seems like a good deal to me.
