In city riding, I can't see the point of a kickstand. I never, ever, ever, ever leave my bikes anywhere without locking them. The lock and the post I've locked it to keeps it from falling down. Kickstands are superfluous.
Superfluous? Don't you mean Redundant? A kickstand would be superfluous if we were talking about, say, bicycle bells. But since you were referring to an alternative way of standing a bicycle up, the better term would be "redundant". Geeeez.
