    I’m not sure if you’re agreeing with me, but the whole reason to lock the rear wheel (as opposed to the front wheel) is specifically to avoid this problem. By locking through the rear wheel inside the rear triangle of the frame, you lock up both the wheel and the frame at once.

    This is why bike racks designed to lock the front wheel are stupid.

      I was arguing, but now that you explained it I understand that you were right all along

      Edit: but the comment is still valid with regard to front wheel locking
