@ascentale @Youngtounces A4: The one that came with my Bulls Evo is beefier than any kickstand I'd ever had before and has a nice rubber cover on the end. Makes it extra stable and I quite like it, so you might look for one with some heft and a good foot like this.

A two-legged kickstand, imo, is most stable and, depending on the design can handle heavy-loading.

I have only had one of these, on a rental, but it worked well and, honestly, it is something I tell myself I need to upgrade on every bike but never get around to it.

It may make an appearance this year under the tree, as a gift to myself.

A4) I have a side kickstand and the trailer hitchpoint integrates with the rear skewer. They are both necessarily on the non-chain side. That means that when you're trying to wrestle the trailer tongue into the hitch, your bike is leaning towards you and things become very cramped and swearing is imminent. Better than nothing, but I prefer to lean the bike chainside towards object so I've got more elbow room. Or consider a double kickstand that will hold the bike upright.

Either way, try to find one that doesn't rattle. #bikenite

A4. Especially for heavily loaded bike (grocery shopping, touring, etc.) I think the Ursus King is worth the extra weight and price for stability: rigid arm and big foot. I specced a brazed or welded-on kickstand mounting plate on my custom touring bike - it makes a big difference vs. clamp-on kickstand.

@ascentale @Youngtounces A4. Not all bikes can take a kickstand, and not all ones that can can take the same style. Installs are easy. Look for a bar with a hole between the chainstays or a round chainstay with no cables in the way. Sometimes you can just make it work even if you maybe shouldn't.

I've really enjoyed my Click Stand [1], but you need to carry it with you; it's not "part of the bike". Much more stable for large loads, though.

@ascentale @Youngtounces A5. There are multiple add-on choices for keeping the bike standing. I wish I could describe using the correct terms but for your situation there is a stand that mounts near the bottom bracket and, when folded out of the way its underneath the chain stay. Or something like that. Two foot pegs make contact with the ground when deployed. Can anyone help me out? I will try to find a photo...
