When do you need a kickstand?
If I'm riding out in the countryside, clearly not. I think the only time it might come in handy is when you're riding around town. If you stop and use the kickstand and walk away from your bike, there's a good chance it won't be there when you get back, so you'll probably lock it to something, negating the need for a kickstand. There are times when I've ridden in large organized groups where there wasn't anything to tie to, and felt secure leaving my bike to have some lunch. The ol' two bike kickstand trick works well for that.
