Ideally, yes, but I never had any quick-release on mine. Once it gets
screwed up and tangled in a wheel it's almost too late anyhow.

So far I have successfully completed all my tows by tying knots to my
bicycle and to the trailing bicycle. Some over lots of miles.

Others should be stupid as were you, to falsely validate your mistake?

Nonsense. If one does such towing carefully it is safe. Motorcyclists do
it that way as well.

What would be stupid is holding the rope in a hand to make it
"let-go-able". That can easily result in a crash.
