Tom I use the double leg kickstands on both my touring bikes ... but beware that when the bob is loaded on to the back of the bike it will cause the front tire to come up off the ground and the front wheel will swing either right or left. If the bob is leaning a bit to either side the front wheel will usually swing towards that direction and i have had the bike fall over to that side .. so my sollution was to always use a velco strap between the front wheel and downtube [forcing the wheel to remain straight] when i stopped, second was to mount a kickstand to the main portion of the bob trailer .. i sent you a few links one shows a tourer with both kickstands in use if you click on the picture it will enlarge it for a closer look... hope this helps you a bit glenn in phx. if you look at the second link and the third picture down and click on the pic you can see that there is 2 kickstands on either side of the bob which is the best idea in my opinion ..
