Heading to Burning Man? Your bike is your main mode of transport—and expression. Here’s what you need to know before you hit the playa.
🛒 What Type of Bike Should You Buy?
Look for a simple, durable cruiser or mountain bike. Single-speed bikes are best—gears clog up with dust quickly. Fat tires help on sandy stretches, and a comfy seat makes all the difference during long rides.
🎒 What to Pack for Your Bike
Don’t forget these essentials:
Headlights & Taillights: For safe night rides
Bungee cords: To strap gear to your frame
Extra tubes: Flats are common
Duct tape & zip ties: For quick repairs
Bike lock: Even in Black Rock City, theft happens
🌪️ What to Expect
Dust. Heat. Distance. Your bike will be your best friend and your legs’ savior. Make sure it’s well maintained before you go. Avoid derailleurs and complex parts—dust kills them.

📍 3. Where to Buy a Burning Man Bike in 2025: Complete Buyer’s Guide
Looking for the perfect Burning Man bike in 2025? You’re not alone. Thousands of Burners hit the playa each year, and demand for festival-ready bikes spikes in the months leading up to the event. Here’s where—and how—you can find the best bike for the desert.
🛒 Option 1: Buy Online (Our Top Pick)
Skip the hassle of Craigslist or secondhand markets. We offer Burning Man-ready bikes shipped or available for local pickup. Pre-decorated, tested for dust, and tuned for the playa—just ride and go.
🏬 Option 2: Local Bike Shops
Some bike shops in Reno, San Francisco, and LA offer Burning Man bike specials. Be sure to ask about dust protection, lighting, and seat comfort.
♻️ Option 3: Buy Used (But Be Careful)
Buying secondhand can save money, but you may get a bike that’s not playa-proof. Inspect tires, brakes, and avoid bikes with multiple gears or fancy suspension.
💡 Pro Tip:
Don’t wait until August! Burning Man bikes sell out fast. Order yours early—ideally by June or July.
