There are a few racks like that in my area--however, many of them have advertising panels (for a local bike shop!) above the horizontal bar, in the space the handlebars should occupy.
To me, that rack looks like a back it in. Hence the Advert. Back in and lock through the rear triangle. I'd rather take my chances with losing a front wheel over an expensive rear wheel replacement.

Thats just me.
