Why put your bike backwards in a bike rack and bend your derailleur that way?

@luccamerel So you can't remove the bike by detaching it from the wheel.

@ohmrun Uh, what's the name in english... I don't know. One click and the wheel is out.. It's still pretty easy.

@luccamerel quick release. If you back the bike in and chain around the frame, they've got no chance. It's more cumbersome, but it works

@ohmrun but it also ruins your derailleur..

@luccamerel That really depends on how you do it

@ohmrun maybe we're not talking about the same bicycle rack? Put you bike backwards in this rack is a bad idea

@luccamerel This is the worst kind. It urges you to lock the front wheel, making your bike easier to steal, especially with quick release. From a thief’s perspective front wheel is cheap and easy to replace, bike is worth more… I’d just shift to the smallest cog so the derailleur is out of the way and lock the rear wheel AND frame to it…

If I had to lock the bike for longer I’m locking rear wheel together with frame to the stand and front wheel to the bike frame…🙈🫣
