Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Putting bikes on a MARTA bus

I would have posted this in the regional section, but I thought it'd get more views here and I'm trying to get some feedback before tomorrow.

MARTA buses have those bike racks at the front -- has anyone used them before? I haven't seen them up close. Do they secure the bike well or is there any chance it could fall off? How about scratching the bike?

And should I bring a U-bolt lock? The main purpose of the lock would be to prevent someone from casually grabbing my bike and riding off with it when the bus makes its stops.

Any advice from experience would be appreciated. Thanks!
