I don't like kick stands because I hate kick stands.  What can they do that a
wall can't do better.  I don't have to carry a wall with me.  If I am leaving
my bike, I like to know that it won't fall over or be stolen - kick stands
don't contribute to my peace of mind about either problem, instead they
contribute weight.

Why do novices and bike shops like kick stands so much?
