transport of 2 bikes and they'll be yours afterwards

[Youri]

Hi all,

Is there anyone who would be able to transport two push bikes from San Francisco to BRC? We're two travelers joining BM this year but as our trip will continue afterwards we will not be able to keep them. For that reason we would be happy to donate the bikes to the lucky transporter at the end of the week.

Cheers, Mr.Bean and Sonrisa.

What's a push bike?

[Elorrum]

pedal bike, I think we call it. As opposed to motor bike?

Senor Habichuela & Smile -

You may want to offer them money for hauling your bikes... A bike after a week on the playa needs fixing and tuning so you aren't doing them a favor by offering them your MOOP.

Glad you found a camp to take you in.

Push bikes are the one's without pedals that you sit and and move like Fred Flinstone did

SSshhhhhh!!!!!

(I did use the literal translation, but they likely mean a bicycle or bike, but couldn't think of the word....)

Jkisha would you like to transport my water in and you can keep the empties after?

[Elderberry]

Sure. Want me to pack out your trash too while I'm at it?

Hey, maybe of the OP bought two of these bikes he could easily solve his problem. http://eplaya.burningman.org/viewtopic. ... 86&t=66119
More people might be apt to want to help if the bikes would be donated to a good cause.

LOL definitely better off walking!

I just realized these are double posts.

If you DON'T mind!!! Thanks for offering. I'll have it bagged and in front of your place on Monday morning.

GREAT idea... Buy those specific bikes and you don't have to beg someone to haul your MOOP!

Yup, they are.


Mr.Bean and Sonrisa--First, once you've started a thread, you cannot start another thread on the same topic. (Well, if you waited 6 months, no one would notice, but six minutes--we'll see it.)
Second, your offer is potentially contentious. Keeping the bikes sounds like a possible payment, strictly off-limits. The ethos of the community is that you should take your own bikes off-playa. If you haven't already purchased your bikes, get the ones 9ah suggested in the other thread. That will soften up people's attitudes.

I can't take all the credit... Jkisha read my mind and I co-signed.

But again... If you want to buy a buy and DONATE it to Yellow Bikes (they only have about 700 in their fleet) PLEASE buy THIS bike: https://www.google.com/search?q=Huffy+C ... e&ie=UTF-8

Yes I mean bicycle. And sorry for the bad offer. I guess I spent too much time in places where people would be still happy to receive two bicycles to give to their kids, nevue or neighbours. Apparently to most of you guys that doesn't apply, I didn't mean to insult you guys, I'm really sorry and I hope you'll feel better soon.

So, if there's anyone who does see any use for two bikes after BM (to whom this post is aimed) just let me know. If not, just sit back and relax.

Cheers, Mr.Bean

I guess you didn't understand that people were trying to help you. Let me try to Google translate this for you, my Dutch is horrid.

Buy the HUFFY bike that you can donate after. This means you should purchase that specific bike and you only need to find someone to carry your bikes for you one way.
Koop de Huffy fiets die u kunt doneren na. Dit betekent dat u die specifieke fiets te kopen en u hoeft alleen maar iemand om uw fietsen te vervoeren voor u een weg te vinden.
Compra el HUFFY bicileta y despues donarlo a "Yellow Bikes." En esta situación de hacer su compra asumir que especifica y sólo tendrá que encontrar a alguien para llevar sus bicicletas para que de una manera.


And PLEASE don't just leave your bike.
en neem uw ​​fiets niet weg
Y por el amor de Dios no deje su bicicleta en la playa

http://burners.me/2012/09/19/moop-or-bike-theft/ - Bikes are MOOP.

Since you aren't as self reliant I did you a favor and looked up this: http://hammerandcyclery.com/donate.html

Otherwise you can find a child for them when you take them off the playa.

You can have all the credit, I don't mind.

Is it an AMEX Black Card? I'll happily share it!

Drinks on me all burn long.

push bike is an old english term to seperate bikes (bicycles) and bikes (motorcycles) being english we decided to add push to the abbreviation of bicycle rather than using the long version or letting people guess from context or ask us.

Just having fun with English grammar!
