Strategy for getting SWB up the stairs.

[Ken Bradley]

There is no way to carry a SWB upstair neatly, when there are people
around! If you don't have to ride off, when you get up stairs, find a place
to leave it downstair. I once got an extra key to the janitor's room,
problem solved.

After getting speared once or twice with the large chainring, they
should learn to stay out of your way, i.e. negative reinforcement.

Yeah, but cleaning the flesh off the ring is annoying, and if you
leave it on too long it smells.
