I am thinking about getting a Swift Folder. But since it doesn't fold up so small, I'm wondering if most NYC office buildings will allow it in their regular elevators, or if they are sent to the freight.

So if you own a Swift, please let me know what your experience has been with getting it into your office building.

PS- I know if I buy a Brompton, this will not be an issue. But I had a Brompton and I do not want another.

Thanks.

Is riding the freight elevator a problem-as it much slower and much farther away?
Guessing there is some problem with the freight elevator that makes it less convenient.
Freight elevators can be a pain when they have hours restrictions, glad I don't have to deal with those anymore.
