    In my residential building we have two elevators, a big one and a small one, the small one can fit 3-4 people if they squeeze together, it can't fit a bicycle. And of course, they don't work independently, so if the small one is already on your floor the big one won't stop there, so if I have my bicycle with me, I need to send the small one to a higher floor first, and since people are using the lifts constantly, sometimes I need to wait for a while and repeat the same process. There were times where the small car came several times before I managed to stop the large one.

      This is hilarious. But I'm also thinking: Maybe just use the stairs? Your bike suggests you aren't afraid of a little cardio.

      Put the bicycle on its back-wheel, vertical?

        I do that sometimes, but it's a tight fit and I might leave dirt marks.
