I use one when parking in my asphalt driveway - to protect the asphalt, not the bike. Had my driveway repaved a couple years ago and the asphalt is still soft enough that the jiffy stand will leave a mark if the bike's parked for more than a couple minutes

coaster does nothing more than provide sure footing for the bike in soft situations.

I have a Bike Barn and the coster is just laying there, so everytime I park, I use the coaster. Got one for the road in my TP just in case.

Keep a small square cover for an elect box in bag. Flat, thin, and cheap.

Carry 2 of them, if you are parked on grass or any sort of soft ground and the bike next to you dos not have one put it under there jiffy stand. Last summer I saw the domino affect in real life. One bike sunk into the ground and fell on the bike next to it.

I park both of my bikes in a workshop with a plywood floor so I can't vouch for the going to ground idea, although it sounds kind of unlikely to me. I do have an HD coaster type pad which I do use, it was a gift so no cost to me. I've seen others pack and use a 6" square piece of 1/4" plywood also, works, not very stylish but if you leave it behind, who cares?
