Remember going round a corner on a motorbike and I hadn't put the stand up . I survived justKickstands can be dangerous on mountain bikes. I grew up back in the mid-90s when mountain bikes first started to become popular, and I remember having a kickstand on my Giant 880. It was just standard for the bike shop to throw one on.
On one of the first rides, I hit some roots, and the kickstand deployed. That was the last time I ran a kickstand (30 years ago).
At last I managed to find what I was looking for couldn't be happier but I do like the streamers you recommend so are you willing to sell me yours?I think you are required to get handlebar streamers with a kickstand.
Amazon has these for under $5 bucks.
As for the kickstand, if you have a carbon frame, avoid because plastic chain stays will have issues. If you have an alloy frame, you should be good… but any street cred you have will be forfeit.
