But what does everyone do when outside their home. Like don't you stop somewhere or if you travel and don't have your home stand. Or maybe people do have kickstands and I just missed it.

Can you recommend a way to stand the bike away from the home base? And if it is a kickstand, maybe a specific model.
I bought one of these for my tandem, and now I want them on all my bikes:
Choosing Your Click-Stand

I've even found that by leaving the brake arresters on the handlebars 24/7, I can often get away with simply arresting the front brake and leaning it against something (for quick stops).
