Advice for carrying a woman's bike?

Question

I have a bike with a woman's frame and I'm looking for advice about how to carry it up and down stairs etc. If it had a men's frame, I could use my shoulder and I've tried to hook the seat on my shoulder but it doesn't work. Your help is appreciated! THANKS

Answer 1

Well, the obvious way is the hold onto the top tube and lift, but if you want some way to hold the weight on your shoulder I'd suggest making/buying a wide strap that can be clipped/velcroed between the stem and where the top tubeintersects the downtube. By adjusting the length you can create a sling that would allow the weight to be borne by your shoulder.

Hope that helps.
