My bike only utilizes the kick stand when it's not home.</TD></TR></TABLE>
Is there any benefit with the stands over the kickstand? I was thinking about getting a pair. I try and only ride my bike 1 or 2 days a week to keep the miles low.

a bike on two stands has far less chances on falling on it's side.

I figured as much. The first day I had my bike and put it on the kickstand I didn't get a warm and fuzzy feeling that it was very secure.

Re: When do you use stands? (Patman)
I use the stands if:
I don't plan on riding the bike for a while and when I do ANY type of maint on the bike.
Oh yeah, when I had my bike in the back of a Penske moving truck, I had it on the stands

Re: When do you use stands? (AzntaggeR)
I use my rear stand anytime I am working on the bike, or washing/detailing it. If for some reason my bike were going to be parked for a while I would put it up on the stand as well, but I ride daily year-round so an extended downtime is not likely.
