How do you know if you are registered for SIG? Is it suppose to be noted in Shopping Cart? Will we receive email?
I want to sign up for A19 --(mind willing --hopefully body able!) and have hit submit button -- but have not received any confirmation - so tried again tonight -- again no confiirmation - so I'm either registered twice or not at all --

So last week my commuter bike was stolen from inside my building. This means that it is time to buy a new commuter bike.
My old one was a Trek 7000 Hybrid (RIP) and I am not sure what I want as my next one, the budget is around 500 bucks, new or used... and I really don't know where to start.
I got the Trek when I was living in Northern NJ, and I never really did any research about "city compatible bikes".
Please pitch in.... Hybrid? Road bike? Maybe even... dare I say... a fixie?
My commute is all in Manhattan and normally I don't go more than 30-40 blocks.
General and specific suggestions are both appreciated.

Thanks!

Does anyone that has ever shipped/flown with a bike have any advice for me? I'm flying to Sacramento in July for the Livestrong Challenge in Davis, CA and need to bring my bike. Right now, I'm looking at buying an "aircaddy" from shipbikes.com and flying with frontier (only a $50 baggage fee for bike boxes). Anyone have a better suggestion or want to lend me a bike box? :)

I need to to part with one of my road bikes since my basement is starting to get crowded. This bike has never crashed and is in super shape.

Ritchey carbon stem and seat post.
Shimano SPD SL pedals

At the risk of offending anyone, and possibly everyone, I have a problem with voting for the new club jersey. I am not sure about the process or whether I voted at all, but I did try to vote. All the jerseys were nice, but I had a clear favorite (which I probably should not disclose in the interests of harmony). At any rate, I clicked on several to look at them, and next I know I am on the page telling me the totals so far. It did not confirm how I voted, or whether I voted at all, but I saw no clear indication of how to cast my vote, and the website seems to indicate that you get to the totals after you vote. Since choice number 1 appears to be the leader, I question whether number 1 is receiving votes intended for other entries.

Hello all,

Really need all your corporate/business/attorney advice I can get here. The situation is this. Selling used bicycles now at a retail store and some of the bikes I get are of no resale value, e.g. a scratched-up Mongoose won't even go for $50 if you can get a new one at K-Mart for the same price. A few dozens of these are hanging out in my basement now, all tuned up and rideable, and more are coming...
