Probably atleast 4. One to carry the front, one for the back and one for each side to prevent it from tipping over, although, I dont condone this, haha. But yeah, it will take some people. It would probably be easier and less of a hassle to rent a small storage building for a month for $30.

can't you rent a garage for a month or store it at a friends house durring the time its apart? I'm sure you could do it but I don't see it being worth while. So my guess is 4 people.

I did it last winter. Here was my write up from a previous post.

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.

it takes at least 10 people... you and 9 of your friends, get a keg of beer and acouple bottles of jager ... get torn the hell up and when you don't realize how heavy that sob is the 4 most determinedpeople do it... the reason you need 10 is that at least 3 people should pass out and at least 2 will play video games and 1 person of course needs to be pumping the keg
