I find escalators to be one of the most important places for pivoting in place because if I don't turn the bike sideways then it will protrude onto more than one step (but it has to roll forward...so I roll it onto the escalator step, pivot sideways, and then step on myself). In fact I always do this even if there's plenty of room so that the bike doesn't go rolling down the escalator if it somehow gets snagged and pushed out of my grip. This is mostly on escalators in NYC subway system.

I can also balance my fold-in-half bike on it's wheels and walk away from it (well sorta...doesn't work all the time...so let's say I can do it on the equinox ). No mistaking, I'm talking a Downtube folded in half, handlebars and seat up, only thing touching the ground is the tires, no hands.

Don't know what's wrong with the forum but my posts are being deleted. I think some malevolent troll has my account password because I don't see any chopped off posts other than my own.
