Mechanical means.
On bikes where the gear lever and side stand are close and in a suitable position, in the past I have welded a small steel rod to the side stand. This rod is positioned such that when the side stand is down, the rod pushes on the underside of the gear lever, preventing it from being pushed down, without a lot of extra effort. That way you notice and flip the stand up. Not need for pesky switches that way. It's only possible on some bikes.
