That sir, is some fantastic news!

honestly not sure yet. I went out to 'check out' ye old bike last night and saw that anywhere it had exposed metal on the frame was covered in brown fun. Maybe it's not rust...but some kind of corrosion/discoloration from the metallic finish it had.

Btw, does anyone know the best way to clean up rust on a bike? I've heard that 'bronze wool' does a good job. Any suggestions would be swell!

honestly I've seen it go both ways. durring years when the playa is in 'tip top' shape the 'non street' playa is certainly packed hard and offers a fantastic ride.

Yea, I fear bike is probably the best solution, but da...

from what I've read the playa is just as bad this year, which is why I fear dragging my bike all the way out just to have it be unridable. This pro-ped cruiser with the 10" wheel is what I'm currently looking at, but I have no idea if that would be able to get around, but 'gut' feeling is no. Ohh ye...

The last year I was able to make it out to Burning Man *2008 the playa was seriously lacking in 'hard packed surface' and my cruiser bike (which I LOVE!) was nigh un-ridable. This year I'd rather not be forced to 'hoof it' everywhere and I've heard that the playa conditions are still unfavorable. An...
