Bike Carrying 101
For those of you who have been thinking about it, it is possible to manually carry your bike up flights of stairs. Me and 2 of my buddies just got done carryin my bike up 2 flights of stairs, making 2 right angle turns, with no problems whatsoever. But it was quite the pain in the ***. A small price to pay for piece of mind i guess.

Assuming you are in an apartment and you have a porch; you should totally put it on the porch and take a picture from outside. [sm=icon_rock.gif]

Bike Carrying 101 Tutorial
Step 1: Attempt to take the lazy man's approach by riding it up the stairs only to realize very quickly this is a horrible idea.
Step 2: Turn to Plan B and find 2 unsuspecting friends
Step 3: Assign them to lift up on the back while you pull forward from the front.
Step 4: Curse yourself for not finding smarter friends as you watch them attempt to pick up from the plastic tail.
Step 5: Repeatedly get your hands smashed between front wheel and fender as bike goes up 2 steps and down 1 with each move.
Step 6: Reach the stop of the stairs covered in sweat, bleeding from your hands, and hoarse from screaming expletives.
Step 7: Sit on your couch admiring your bike in your living room and begin wondering how the hell youre going to get it out of here.
