Kickstands. Yes or no?

[OakLeaf]

I should've been more clear - there's nothing wrong with my kickstand, it doesn't fold up. The bike just pivots around it. The solution isn't a different kickstand, it's in putting some steering lock on the bike... and since I don't care to shorten up my cables, it would be one of those front tire holder deals, whatever they're called. Do they make those for fat tires? At any rate it seems like more trouble than it's worth. I lock my hybrid to something or at least put it in a rack when I'm parking it away from home. It does sit on the kickstand in the garage (level floor, unloaded panniers). So basically I'm carrying my home storage solution around with me wherever I ride. The kickstand is useless anywhere else.

Oakleaf, do you just need something to hold a brake in place? With the Click-stands you get these things that are like pony-tail holders to put on your handlebars and hold the brake closed. Would putting something like that on you handlebar help? It will keep the bicycle from moving. Just a thought.

You can just use pony-tail holders.
