+1 for the rear mounted stand. I've used a 2-legged ESGE stand and single legged stands on bike tours and, while they are better than no stand at all, they are finicky. I installed a rear triangle stand on my wife's touring bike last summer. She could park on nearly any surface and her bike was stable. I was definitely envious!
