Nope. You should get Velcro straps (or any sort of strap) to lock down one of your brake handles. Then, your bikes will be extremely stable to lean against anything (even against one another like a couple of cows in the cold weather).
My kids have taught me thoroughly that kickstands are not cool! That's the only reason my bike has none.
