I have 2 bikes. A hybrid with a kickstand, and a roadbike without a kickstand. I love kickstands and the roadbike is going to have a kickstand soon as I get to the bikeshop. Either that or the roadbike is going out in the yard. The roadbike has scratched the wall in my house. This wouldn't have happened if a kickstand was on it. The hybrid has been in the same room for 3 years and hasn't put one scratch on the wall.

The roadie has been here about 6 months and has already put 2 scratches on the wall. Just my 2 cents.
