get a folding bike, google dahon, lots of choices. besides that the strap racks are not that secure, i didnt feel safe driving on the freeway with it. a hitch is the way to go for a bike rack.

Go post in "The Bicycle Thread" in Ramblings. But, to let you know, ALL RACKS WILL scratch your car, no matter what. Period. Even if it's on your 100th use, and you used it fine 99 times. This goes for trunk mounted racks AND roof racks. My advice to you is to install a hitch and get a hitch mounted bike rack. You'll never have to worry about scratching your car with a hitch rack.
