Click Stand
Yes, you will find several archive threads on this product. I have one that I carry with my Silvio, but I must say that I have only used it once. It is a very well engineered device; however, what I have used consistently is the supplied bungee loop for the brake. There is always something around to lean on.

Are they sturdy enough to support a touring loaded sofrider ?
On the subject, what are good double leg kickstands for sofriders ? I had bought a pair of civia but they were too short. I don't know how that could be possible, but maybe they are made for 24" wheels.

I have been using the ClickStand for about 3 years.
When the bike is not fully loaded it works fine in the front. When I have all my bags on the softrider / conversion kit, then I find it works to put it towards the back, right at the support for the rear rack.
It works well for the Silvio also, I have not had any issues with it slipping.

I managed to improvise by
I managed to improvise by cutting up some PVC tubing that was lying around (about an inch in diameter) and putting in a rubber stopper at one end. The length is around 2 feet so not so long I need to fold it. I hold it on the bike with a portable pump holder that was lying around as well. I use a cable tie adjusted to the right length to hold the brakes in place.
I painted the tube all black so it didn't look too bad.

The click-stand is a more elegant solution though.

, there is a discussion about the UpStand
http://upstandingbicycle.com/upstand-bike-stand/
which seems to do a very similar job but may be lighter. Maybe a little more secure if the Cruzbike is accidently knocked by someone pushing past it too?
