In lieu of a Bubbe Lifter Tube, you could try one of these:
Bicycle Frame Handle - The "Little Lifter" - Leather Bike Handle

Subject: [RBW] Re: Reflections On My Riv and A Weight Loss Program
I may have missed something obvious, but it didn't seem that your issues with
the bike's weight involved dissatisfaction with the actual riding. The issue
seemed to rear it's head when it came to physically lifting the bike up a set
of porch steps. Forgive me if I've misunderstood the root of the weight issue,
but I wonder it the matter might be solved with something like the "lift
handle" built into one of the Rosco Bubbe models (called the Bubbe Lifter Tube)?
Lifting a bike can be unwieldy, all the more so when you have to grab it up
high on the frame (poor leverage position + poor front-to-rear load balance),
then lift and carry while trying to keep the fork and front wheel pointed in
the right direction. For most people, lifting with an ergonomically positioned
"handle" at a low, balanced point on the frame is much easier: Stand on the
left side, lift with the right hand, stabilize the front wheel with the left
hand on the bars.
Might there be some sort of add-on lifting handle or device that makes this
part of the job easier for you?
