Kickstands. Yes or no?

[badgercat]

My boyfriend gives me the same grief about my kickstand. But guess who doesn't have to deal with worrying about her bike tipping over as I'm trying to fuss with my keys and cards to get into my apartment? Yes, I'll take those few extra ounces any day.

Then again, I have a hybrid that I primarily use for commuting, errands, that sort of thing. It doesn't really go out on any trails or anything, so depending on what you do with your bike, there may be different concerns with that or whatnot.

But don't NOT get one just because someone else says they're "uncool." I didn't listen to my guy, and I'm sure glad.
