My Terry hybrid came with a kickstand, which I have found very useful. However, I was a little insulted when I read a comment from Georgena Terry herself that "real cyclists don't have kickstands".

I'm getting a little tired of hearing "real cyclists do this" and "real cyclists don't do that". As far as I'm concerned, a "real cyclist" is someone who enjoys time on their bike. If that bike includes a kickstand, then so. freaking. what. If it doesn't hurt other riders in any way, why should they care that you have a kickstand???

** </end rant> I'm gonna try to ignore the "real cyclist" thing from now on... **"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."
