PLAYALCHEMIST has partnered with Playa Bike Repair for 2023.
Why PBR?
Founded in 2011, PBR provides bikes and bike repair for Burners Worldwide.
Convenient
We pre-load our rental bikes onto a trailer. Playalchemist will tow the trailer from PBR's depot in Reno to the playa. Claim/return your rental bike at Playalchemist.
Comfortable
You get a comfortable, dependable bike. The bikes sport an adjustable seat, front basket, and headlight.
Dependable
Our bikes are built to withstand the most rigorous conditions; have sealed bearings and solid tires; and are meticulously maintained by professional mechanics.
Environmental
We acquired our fleet from a former bike-share company. The bikes, nearly new, are stored locally; transported efficiently; and will last 5-10 years.
Community
In the off-season, we hire Burners to maintain our fleet, benefitting both our community and the local economy. In contrast, “Box stores” extract wealth.
Cost
The cost to buy, transport, clean, maintain, and/or store a bike can add up; renting is often cheaper.
