Kickstands add weight
So, the mere thought of adding some extra metal to their bike is too heavy for them. By all means, a kickstand doesn't add very much weight to a bike. ... Very few cyclists will be willing to add something to their bike if it doesn't help them improve something about their ride.
Are kickstands necessary?
Any kid's bike that does not have training wheels should have a kickstand. ... If it's too long, the bike will topple over to the opposite side when used on pavement, but if it's too short, it will sink into the dirt when used on grass.
Should I remove kickstand?
Seriously there's nothing wrong with a kickstand, except that many consider it an unnecessary appendage and remove it to save weight.
