Abstract
A wheel securing assembly comprises a securing axle, a first locking structure, and a second locking structure. The first locking structure includes a first locking member that is configured to apply and release a securing force to and from a bicycle body. The second locking structure includes a second locking member movable relative to a second axle end to be in each of a locking orientation and an unlocking orientation different from the locking orientation. The second locking member includes a receiving surface contactable with the bicycle body to receive the securing force. The receiving surface is positioned relative to the securing axle to face in an axial direction parallel to a center axis in the locking orientation of the second locking member. The receiving surface is configured to face in a direction that is different from the axial direction in the unlocking orientation of the second locking member.
