Ummm... I won't say what that thing looks like to me...
Why, oh why, are you not permitted to have a kickstand? If you want a kickstand, then you stand up and proudly proclaim your dorkdom like the rest of us who have them!!
As I've told people, with my bike leaning on it's stand, I can then step back and admire it more easily.

"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com

I got a kick stand on my Raleigh Hybrid, and got no end of grief about it.
I actually got a kickstand for our TANDEM, a major score because that thing is a real hassle, weighs a ton, is long as a football field.. anyway, I feel that it was our compromise. DH is trying to get me to get used to a light road bike and so I am not weighting it down with all my typical accessories.. It already weighs 25 lbs!
