Do kickstands or chain waxing threads bring out the most dogmatic posters?

If you want one, put one on your bike. You'll enjoy the convenience. FWIW, I've got one like Tourist; when the foot wore out, I bored a hole in a golf ball and glued it on.

If you don't want a kickstand, don't put one on (like my other bikes). Every time you ride the lighter, rattle-free bike, you'll think you're in a movie and the sun is just coming out after a storm as orchestral music swells. Every time you lean the bike up against something, you'll have to worry about whether it'll get knocked down and scratch your beautiful frame.
