Anybody in Santa Cruz area who can help facilitate shipping a bike?

There's beer in it for you. (Or coffee!)

An alternative method is to use FedEx/Kinko's
They will hold the bike for 5 days.

If you are not able to receive your bicycle at home or work, we can send the bicycle to any FedEx Office/Kinko’s store where they can hold it free for up to five days.
See: http://www.shipbikes.com/HowDoes.html

Not sure if you have to use shipbikes to get FedEx to hold the bike.
