@Youngtounces needs advice on kickstands:

Q4. I would like to add a kickstand to my bike and I'm not sure if there is anything special to consider, or if it's pretty basic to add? 10 year old trek used for commuting, shopping, and basic rail-trail riding. Has rear rack and I often attach a trailer to go shopping. That's mostly why I want = some stability while I'm attaching and loading trailer and things on rack. Thanks!

@ascentale @Youngtounces #BikeNite 20241220 A4. The most important consideration is whether or not your bicycle has a place to mount the stand you are thinking of adding. I ride a RadMission, so I went with the OEM kickstand, since the frame has threaded inserts for it. This type has been pretty stable when loading up my baskets and panniers with groceries.

@gcvsa @ascentale @Youngtounces My Trek commuter bike came with a rear mount kickstand, and I'm glad it's there. But for resting stability, what I want, but still haven't convinced myself to buy, is a Steer Stopper (https://steerstopper.com).
