That's the same type of rack I have at my office. You might want to install some sort of skid plate on the underside of your downtube if you're going to keep parking that way. I didn't realise how much damage I was doing to the underside of downtube untill it was already done.

Can someone show us examples of "good" racks? I know there is the rack hall of shame thread here somewhere....
The racks the city uses are actually pretty good. Just a simple U of square tubing set into the cement -- difficult to cut or pick up, and easy to use a U-lock on the frame and wheel.
