I checked "Other" because I'm between kickstands. My Tote/Cycle came with a kickstand, but the kickstand/plate combination never seemed too steady, and I was always retightening it. I found a kickstand at our co-op that connected to the rear axle. That was not a perfect fit, but much better than the old kickstand until the day I forgot to put it up and it got all bent up the first time I leaned to the left. Oops. I'm reluctant to go back to my original, but I hate not having one, so I'm looking for one that attaches to the rear triangle somehow.

I have a Raleigh 20 that has an attached kickstand, I think (it's new (to me, obviously)), and my full-sized bike has a double-legged kickstand.

I try to listen to the anti-kickstand side and do without, but every time I take my Tote/Cycle out, I ended up missing that kickstand. It's just not natural to me to be without one.
