Stop thinking twice about putting a kickstand on your bike and just do it already. It makes life easier in almost every way – especially on a commuter. No more finding a random object to lean it on just right so it doesn’t tip with a front load, or awkwardly balancing the bike on yourself when you need to shuffle around for something while walking the bike, or the balancing act when loading/unloading the bike (still some challenge there I will admit). Another benefit is if you set it up with the back wheel raised it’s easier to work on the bike. I also think the double-leg kickstands look pretty sweet.

What kickstand is that? Would love to join the team and put one on an old trek I am working on
I have one! Got it from Velo Orange and then found other companies sell the same dutch center quickstand rebranded. For instance here’s on in all black – [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LNLXML4?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder_k5_1_17&=&crid=2SKPULFWYPNNW&sprefix=center%2Bkick%2Bstand&th=1](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LNLXML4?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder_k5_1_17&=&crid=2SKPULFWYPNNW&sprefix=center%2Bkick%2Bstand&th=1)

Literally was thinking about getting one today
Clicked to come in here to say f*@k kickstands, but didn’t expect to see a centrally mounted dual number.
Chapeau, you person of taste.
I recently picked up a Kona Dew for cruising around town and riding with the kiddos. It came with an aftermarket kickstand—and tbh, I don’t hate it. It’s still on the bike, and I have no plans to take it off.
A necessity for a front rack that handles decent weight. I always wanted one just like this
If you want to carry stuff on your bike, especially a front load, they’re pretty much essential in my book.
Yeah now let’s direct our hatred against our true enemies! Dork discs and spoke reflectors!
Can you DIGGG IT?!
Two footed kickstands. YES! One footed kickstands. NO!
How does it attach to the frame?
Dual leg kickstands are worth their weight in whatever they’re made out of.

It will surely save the paint. No regrets!
