TB can do as they wish ..
tsl's Carry example is a bit low in the front, another common technique to cure that ..
elbow around head tube pulls the bike rearward.. front wheel further off the ground.
shoulder in the center of the top tube..
and holding the left end of handlebar keeps the wheel from flopping around..
a bit more weight on the bike makes a padded top tube a good idea ..
yea a 2nd floor+ walkup when stairs are kind of narrow , not so applicable..
