I haven't seen any scratches on my bike frames as the bike rests on the handlebar and pedal, I always put the bike with the drive side up, the drivers don't swerve or otherwise drive recklessly. I am also not of the usual income level of bikeforum members which seems to be able to afford $2500- $4000 bikes. I can use the MBTA commuter rail from Providence to Boston off peak for about $11.00 one way.
