"Cycling season" is winding down for my club. People are not showing up any more for the club rides, because it's sometimes below 70°F. This is the time I switch to riding for any local rides I can to keep SOME kind of fitness over the winter.

No bike commute this morning. I rode every day since Friday at least 17 miles; giving my legs a break before tonight's club ride. Took the scooter, which needs to have its gas burned before it turns to varnish in the fuel system.

I found one of those rubber tow straps on the road yesterday. Turns out it's the perfect length to use the bungee hooks grooves near the rear dropouts in my ZiZZO Forte folding bike.

Tom,

You said your bike is heavy. What does that mean, 40 lbs.? ZiZZO is working on their new version of the Liberté folder. 23 lbs. Maybe add fenders and a nice carry bag with cross shoulder strap to hump it up the stairs.

Hauling a bike up stairs is exercise, but not the pleasant kind, like RIDING the bike.

Or lock it somewhere secure with a really good lock?
