^ Looks as if he builds bikes that eat people or something :shock:
A friend has been twice and came back with some wayyyyy out-there stories. Interesting event to say the least.
It's commecialized anti-establishment. Anti-capitalism that makes a profit. Like the Occupy movement that was so against big corporations, but you couldn't attend without your iPhone/iPod/iPad. They want to be different like everyone else.
You know, the new American way.

I heard about it before but looks dumb especially that burning fire part, wasting bikes for the arch in that picture is just plain wrong and instead of doing that then how about giving those bicycle to me or someone else who might need any of them for parts or ride.
Do you get free bikes there? Looks as if nobody cares about them :mrgreen:

you can get free anything- free std's, free drugs...
seriously though, I think the barter system is encouraged.

I'm good on this then.
My wife and many friends are Burners. Other than the tickets to get in, no money is exchanged once inside. It is ALL by barter.
People love their bikes there, as the rules are that if you do drive within, there is a 5mph speed limit. However, the desert environment is hard on bikes, and many people abandon them up there. There is a program that deals with them. They paint them, label them, and leave them up there as free-to-use loaners.

I build stuff.
I've heard that any of the mobile art pieces (art cars, big pedal cars, etc...) are considered public transportation and if there is room you have to give people rides, which is cool I guess.
Someone on here once posted photos of all the leftover bikes that they find homes for, kind of crazy.

To me, (From what I've just watched) It looks like they built some cool stuff, And just burnt all of it. But I think it would be cool to try and drift with a bike out there! You probably could :mrgreen:
Oops,sorry guys. I didn't realise that, when I posted these links.
On this side of The Pond, it's no problem. So remove them, if you don't agree with their contents.
Again, I appologize if I offended anyone.
