Both. Just to be awkward, as long as the ramp is long enough or wide enough you can do both (obviously not at once) I know a few peeps that do both, just takes practise to ride it in the house
I do both in my shed, provided theres only one bike in there at the time, I walk the last one in, as its a bit of a squeeze between two in there

Yup, that's how it was done. problem was the approach was at such an angle I couldn't ride it, then the door was so narrow I had to get on it.

Problem was bike was stuck in garage at work & the only way out was through the fire exit as the electric roller door stopped working & I wasn't going to take the tube/train/walk home.

Ride it ,thats what i do,as does my next door neighbour.Feels a lot safer using the bike to pull you up the ramp,rather than pushing it,risking the chance of slipping,going ar$e over ti* and the rest i'm sure you can work out.
