I've done that. When I was 20, I had a studio apartment on the fourth floor of a building with no elevator. I even carried my bike up a few times with the groceries in the crate. That feat was more exercise than riding the bike!
I love towing my trailer. I'll have to see if I still love it after moving to Manhattan. It might prove unwieldy.
