Kickstand? Hell yes! I put a kickstand on my bike...I was the only one in the stairwell at work that could park my bike anywhere I chose...the rest of the commuters had to find some wall space to lean against....soon that became a safety/fire code issue and we got vertical wall racks to hang our bikes on. I told em it would've been alot cheaper to buy everyone a kickstand. :-)

There have been several occasions on my commute where I needed to stop and adjust or get something and there was nothing to lean my bike against. Plus having a kickstand means the whole world is your bike parking lot. :-)
