First, my handlebars always get in the way if I want to lean my bike up against a wall (flat bar bike). The front wheel flops sideways and the bike wants to fall over at that point. I've seen drop bar bikes where this works perfectly fine.

If I lay it down on the non-drive side, my mirror is on the ground and gets knocked out of adjustment. Just suck it up and re-adjust the mirror every time? It always seems that I forget to do this until I need to use it. I've become so accustomed to riding with a mirror that removing it isn't an option anymore.
