I'll be flying in and out of Reno and plan to find a cheap second hand bike before hitting the playa. I heard you could donate your bikes after the event somewhere in Gerlach. Does anyone have information regarding the location in Gerlach to donate bikes? Or is there only a bike donation spot in Reno?

    There's a big sign on the way out as you are leaving, can't miss it. Well, I suppose you could miss it, but only if you were totally burnt out from partying all week in the desert.
    Oh wait...

    There is also the Yellow Bike Program:

    Burning Man also runs a community Yellow Bike program, where a fleet of bikes are made available for participants to borrow for one-time, one-way, no-guarantees use. These bikes are painted green and (ironically) say "Yellow Bike" on them. A Yellow Bike can be taken at any time by anybody, and used to travel to their destination. Once it's been dismounted, anybody else can take it and use it as they need to, and leave it when they arrive … rinse and repeat. Yellow Bikes are a community resource, and are NOT to be repainted, augmented, damaged, locked up, or kept (say, in your camp) for private use. It requires community cooperation to keep this resource alive for all to enjoy!
