I use a 24" long peice of oak dowel (turned from a broken bo-staff) and prop the Giro up with it
against the hydration pouch and seat brace. You can also use it against the Pannier rack, if you
have a bit shorter peice... the key seems to be a spare hair tie, to set the front brake while you
park. I hang it in the tube that the hostel shop Giro bag has for a bike pump while not being a
kickstand. As an added benefit, it might just save your life against a feral dog one day.
