even if the bike isn't wet, the roads are often a bit damp and mucky, so result in dirty tyres. and some of it's just perception - to a lot of people a bike belongs outdoors, so carrying it avoids anxiety about the floor (even if in reality there's no more danger to the floor than people walking on it).
