Who knew that kickstands could be controversial and cause for a flame war?
I'm looking at two bikes, one with a kickstand and one without. The retailer for the no kickstand bike informed me that most high end bicycles do not have a kickstand ("*sniff* you peasant you"). So I did a googler and sure enough, there is strong disagreement on whether or not a bike should have a kickstand. Like, to the point where people were getting pissed and calling each other names.
Sorry, bike snobs, I'm a kickstand person. I don't want to lay my bike down on the ground or find something suitable to prop it against. I want to put the kickstand down like nature intended.
