Ride Needed to Black Rock Bicycles in Reno

Hi all! I'm looking for a ride to and from Black Rock Bicycles with someone that has enough room for a bike. I'm unsure how I'd get a bike in/on a cab so hoping I can find someone here willing to help out. I arrive in Reno Friday night, staying at The Sands.
Anyone free to help during these times?
Friday, 8/25 at 9:30pm (closes at 10pm) or Saturday, 8/26 before 11am (opens at 8am).
Anyone down for a quick round trip?

Once you have your bike you could ride it back to the Sands. It's only 6 miles.

When/if you call for a cab ask for a cab van, tell them you have a bike. Cab vans fit people with power chairs in them so thinking a bike would fit.

The mass transit buses in Reno have bike racks on the front. Looks like bus lines 7 and 17 go right where you are going. Here is the link to their site:

That's right! ^^ the bus goes right by there. Good call!
And the main bus depot is on 4th street a couple of blocks down from the Sands. It's on Lake and 4th I believe, the Morris Burner Hostel is right down from that on 4th street.

You guys are amazing! Bus looks like a great option, thank you!
And I was expecting the ride to The Sands to be all highway, but looks like that's not the case! I won't have a helmet, though..

Just stick to N. Virginia St and there's just a bit of highway...
