Have you thought about buying a plane ticket to Reno? I just looked on Southwest and saw a roundtrip for about $330. You could fly in and rent a bike as well as catching a shuttle to the event.

Maybe you can work something out with the temple crew about bringing out some of your stuff. Other stuff you could take on the plane.

Below is some info from Jack Rabbit Speaks about Bikes. See you on the playa.



WHERE CAN I GET A BIKE?

Say you're flying into Reno, or you don't want to haul a bike for most
of your drive. Well, there are plenty of places in Reno offering
playa bikes for rent and sale. They include:

Black Rock Bicycles
7550 Hillview Dr – 775- 972-3336
The only bike outfit in Reno primarily catering to Burners. Brand new
durable cruisers for women and men, for rent or purchase. To make
rental arrangements, visit www.blackrockbicycles.com. To buy a
bike or bike-accessories (lock, bell, lights, basket, rack), Black
Rock Bicycles has also teamed up with two local Save Mart supermarkets
to sell new cruisers at the stores, now and through the week of
Burning Man. You can also find Black Rock Bicycles for purchase at

Tell 'em the Rabbit sent you. And then they'll go "Huh?", and you'll
look like an idiot.
