Nothing like a good kickstand thread. I personally have a Greenfield stabilizer on my bike and love it. When I first got my bike it didn't have a kickstand, and I hated having to lean it up against something all the time. Not to mention the paint was getting scratched & scuffed up. Now I can park my bike anywhere, and with the large foot on the Greenfield I don't have to worry about it sinking into the ground. Not to mention that I can clean & lube the chain by turning the pedals backwards, since the stabilizer is next to the rear hub and out of the way. Frankly I don't care if other riders think it's cool or not. I'm the only one who has to like my bike.
