If you are not careful in your assessment you may end up with a bike without a kickstand as you may automatically assume that all bikes come with one. The reality is, however, not all of them do and in fact, most of them will not. You may be left scratching your head at this and wondering why such an important design element is left out. The reason for this is depending on the materials of the frame and the style of the bike, some are simply not fitted for one. Yet, ironically, some riders feel that kickstands are practically worthless.
They are designed to keep your bike upright when you are not riding on it but the problem is, relying on a kickstand is not sufficient enough. With a gust of a strong wind, it may not hold up to it and could end up falling; which can lead to damage to the brake levels and derailleur.
