Alternatives to the old "Flick-Stand" kickstand

I stumbled upon this while trying to find information about Flickstand. Apparently, it's no longer manufactured.
I bought this alternative:

It works VERY well, even better than Flickstand! Easier and more convenient to use. I have it mounted on my Trek Step-thru frame.
The downside is it's a little expensive, but it's worth it.
IIRC, the Flickstand had the additional benefit of stopping the front
wheel's rotation, making the bike even more stable.
I stop the front wheel (but don't lock the steering) when parked by use
of a sort of stair-stepped wedge thing crammed into the upper side of
the squeezed brake lever. Blackburn used to make them.

I make my own, varying the design depending on the brake lever.
