Taking the front wheel with you is a lot like the old days with the removable car radios- theft prevention.Nice picture, but that bicycle isn't in good shape.
True. I imagine carrying around a bike wheel around isn't exactly convenient...Yeah for sure, a bike without a front wheel is less practical and desireable, but if you put a bolt thru front axle instead of a quick release you're not having to carry a wheel around with you either.
