When I got my first hybrid, everything I read said "no kickstand," so I didn't get one.

A week later, I went back to teh shop and they put one on for me (as if I'd gotten it with the bike, I might add, not additional). I'd missed it too many times.

When I got my 7500 FX, though, I didn't get one. Sometiems I miss it, but it's a much lighter bike so leaning isn't as involved. (Now that the original bike has an Xtracycle extension, I will eventually get a center stand.)

See what it's like without one... you'll know.
