The Burning Man festival is up and running in the Black Rock
desert in Nevada. Over twenty-five thousand people assemble as Black Rock City
literally springs up out of the inhospitable lifeless dust. It is worth
considering if you want to get away from it all, though in this case ‘all’ means
all and is not an excuse for lying by a pool with a good book and a cocktail.
It means using one-ply toilet paper for a start and that would count me out!
Who goes there? Judging from the advice about bicycles, nobody you’d want to
meet...
HAPPY BICYCLING
LOCK YOUR BIKE! It is recommended you lock
your bike at all times when not in use... No bike is considered stolen unless
the lock was cut, and no bike is considered lost until the event is over on
Monday. If your bike is missing, you can file a lost bike report at Playa Info
at any time during the event.
DECORATE YOUR BIKE: It is much less likely
your bike will be borrowed without permission if it looks unique.
MARK YOUR BIKE: and ALL of your significant
possessions (backpack, camera, etc.) with your name, phone number or email
address, and camp location.
The first principle of the ‘culture’ of the city is to
include everyone – and that means tossers who are likely to ‘borrow a bike
without permission’.
