I ride them all the time, along with escalators. They’re just a fact of life living in the city. Another thought - when’s the last time you used a revolving door? That’s what cracks me up all the time. I love barreling through revolving doors when there’s a tourist already in it trying to figure out how not to trip on the way through! Oops, sorry… (hee hee)

Going up - almost always ride the elevator  
Going down - usually walk the stairs
