Hahaha, ya. NOT THAT WAY. In my mind I had just planned on using it w/ the noose around the wheel/frame/pole. You could do it safely the way you mentioned if you cross the chain over the downtube, but then you're taking up as much chain as the other way and you could probably fit the front wheel through the main triangle on larger frames.
