B SIG registration for 2011 is now closed. We've registered as many people as we can accommodate. As much as I wish that we had room for everyone who is interested in the B SIG, the reality is that we do not.

You might be wondering whether the B SIG has a wait list. The answer is that we do, but, we registered enough people to fill our wait list as well as the available riding spots.

I look forward to meeting all of the 2011 B SIG participants on Saturday, March 5th, in Central Park. Please direct any questions to [email protected].

i was running tonight in the park and saw a guy on a bike get a ticket. guy on bike (as opposed to a cyclist) was coming out of the path from the middle of the park onto the west side of the park at about 86th street. he was clearly being followed out of the path and onto the road. the minute he got on the road, the nypd 3-wheeled golf cart type of car thing turned on his lights and pulled the biker over. i didn't stop to find out the offense; i continued running my 9:47 pace for 4 miles - woo hoo.

the park was completely empty. i'd say i saw 5-10ish cyclists and people on bikes? a few running groups, like myself. come on already.

You've got until 6PM Saturday to get in your vote!
Don't delay!

Does anyone have a 172.5 left crank that is compatible with an Octalink V2 BB they could part with? Ideally it would be Dura Ace FC-7700 or Ultegra FC-6500.

Is 9W rideable?

Didn't post the ride description on the message board because a) studs and fenders would be mandatory and b) Usual Suspects had already reserved the available slots.

The ride was a succession of back roads looping up to Big W's Roadside Barbeque. What was surprising was the remarkably challenging range of riding conditions from deep snow to glare ice.

Unfortunately I was unable to make it to the membership meeting to ask this question, but hopefully someone here can fill me in.

How are the qualifying laps for the SIG groups going to take place in CP in light of the NYPD's recent ticketing spree? Are arrangements being made with the CPC or NYPD to allow us to complete the laps without having to stop at red lights or risk getting ticketed?

Could someone explain the process for changing browsers. I use Time Warner cable, and AOL. I have stayed with AOL mostly because of inertia: it is loaded on my computer and I am comfortable using it although sometimes it is slow and balky. If I download Firefox will that use upa lot of space on my computer? Should I remove AOL or will that cause me to lose parts of my operating system? If I start using Firefox, does it have an email function or will I have to make other email arrangements. I love the computer and I use it a lot. However, I am also scared to death of doing something to it that will cause me to lose the limited capacity I have electronically. Any help would be appreciated.

If anyone has an old pair of Diadora cycling shoes or a spare heel replacement, or any suggestions on where to get one or what else could be used, I would greatly appreciate some info. I did a web search; not too much stock out there; I think they've stopped making shoes, but I have a pair of winter shoes I cannot use because I'll kill myself walking in them with one missing heel.
Thanks...feel free to email me off line.

P.S. I know about Chain Reaction website...I ordered from them Jan. 2 and am now contesting with my credit card company...they never shipped the merchandise (but lied about it) and charged my credit card a day after the order.
