yep. many consider them a hazard, others just unaesthetic. I think you can get a collapsible bike stand that’s about the size of a Topeak Road Morph pump that fits in most bike bags, but most just lash the bike to a tree/railing. What model you got?

I’ll have to look at the bike stand option. I think it’d help us since we have baby seats attached. I haven’t tried it yet, but I can see how it might be difficult without a kickstand.

My wife and I both got Giant Cypress STs.  Might be more than we need. We’re mostly just going to bike around our subdivision, but we do have some hills.
