What's a HUB: In 2022, BM introduced the concept of a Hub, defined as two (or more) theme camps placed in close proximity, so they can share resources, like bike-trailers, power, or transport.

NY Hub includes:
Kostume Kult
Joyful Dragon Circus
NYC Deli
Waffle and House

The camps are sharing, amongst other things, a bike-trailer. This page is intended for people camping within the NY Hub.

Playa Bike Repair
The bikes and bike-trailer are provided by Playa Bike Repair (PBR).

The Rental Process

• Rent your bike(s) via this portal.
• PBR will load the bikes onto a trailer in Reno.
• NY Hub will transport the trailer to the playa.
• Claim/return your bike at the trailer, near your camp.

Why PBR?
Founded in 2011, Playa Bike Repair provides bikes and bike repair for Burners worldwide.

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.

What if the bike is stolen?
If you lock the bike it will not be stolen. But if your (unlocked) bike is stolen, you owe us the rental fee, and forfeit your deposit.

The front wheel generates power, for a dim headlight.
We recommend you buy/bring more.
