If anyone claims you can't carry something by bike, I bet you can! (streets.mn)

Last year when moving from one apartment to another, I transported all my furniture and possessions by bike!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure OP wouldn't be able to carry that by bike.

Carry what? Bet I can.

Maybe "wouldn't be able to" was a little strongly worded, for I've seen people carry the weirdest stuff by bike, from 65" flatscreens to mid-sized furniture, but it cannot possibly be comfortable nor safe to carry a sofa by bike (eg. not a trailer pulled by bike/car/pedestrian) for any significant distance.

If you have any kind of trailer, then that's of course a entirely different story.
