Actually, neither. Nor do they come with water bottle holders. All of these accessories you have to
purchase yourself, including a lock and chain.

Actually, I don't know of any manufacturer, including Raleigh, that come with kickstands, you always
have to purchase them aftermarket, as I did with my Raleigh, it did not come with one.

Then there are those that don't get kickstands at all, so they can just throw their bikes on the
ground like kids in the ghetto do.

The person who made that comment is obviously someone who bought their bike from Toys-R-Us or
Walmart. Anyone serious about bikes knows the better ones, like Raleighs, don't come with kick
stands or water bottles on them, you always have to buy them separately.
