I have these on two of my bikes that I use when I plan on stopping somewhere, the other road bikes do not have any kickstands although I have thought about getting a Mini Click stand but realized that the time I really need it is when I open the door getting it out of the house. If you get the Pletscher, be sure to order the rubber tips for it!
