Can I carry my bike up and down these stairs every day?

[KLizotte]

Hi all,

I’ve viewed a condo that I really like unfortunately it requires going up a flight of stairs to get to it. On the plus side, the stairwell is inside my condo so I could mark up the walls as much as I want. The downside is they are narrow and the landing is basically non-existent (only wide enough for the door to swing through. I’m trying to think of a hanging solution that would prevent me having to haul the road bike up and downstairs but it is a very narrow space. I already know I’d have to take off my panniers every time I had to haul up and down. Anything else I should be aware of or consider? I absolutely love everything else about the condo but these stairs are a real stickler not only for the bike but carrying other stuff like groceries. Augh.

Let me know if you decide to do that. I’ve got two unused winch bike hoists just like the Good Doctor pictured and would be willing to give you one.

Ha! That’s amazing but I’m sure that would be against condo rules and I doubt the folks living below would be pleased. Many thanks for the offer though.

Nice! Now you need one of these.

Oh wow! I never knew these existed. Anyone know if they work well in real life? I have a VersaCart that I love but it’s not gonna be practical once I move.
