I wanted a kickstand on my OCR2 Giant but couldn't get one. Bought the click stand instead and it's great. It comes with brake bands(someone mentioned broccoli rubber bands for the brake) that are always useful even if you don't use the stand. I use the stand most when I am cycling by myself. I often stop at a pretty spot rather than at a deli or market (on club rides)so there are no walls to lean a bike against.
