I don't get that statement. Maybe it is just me, but I always figured that a bike is more likely to blow over when on a little stand than when leaning against a nice solid wall, guard rail, or whatever. I figure that is doubly true when the stand is on dirt. My buddies tell me their bikes never blow over when on their stands, but I know better because I have seen it happen the times they seem to have forgotten about. I think maybe the key is to not rely on the stand when in the open and the wind is really blowing.
I figure that if a stand works for you and you find it worth the weight you should have one. I also agree that the two legged stand is nice as a work stand.
