Do you HAVE to reserve a bike and car in Reno....

.... before arriving?

I read about the cheap bikes you can get for $25 or so. Can you purchase them online?

I will be arriving Reno on the 28th.

I think you may be outa luck now on a cheap bike according to what I read here: (scroll down on the page to find bikes):

Reno Bike Project had 300, Kiwanis Club had 200 (or vice versa, I forget. lol)

You may still be able to purchase one at the bike shop if you are interested and your budget allows.

You might search Craigslist for bikes for sale in Reno (plenty of them listed if you search "burning man" in the For Sale section:

Paypal for one ahead of time -- then pick it up when you get to Reno.

Someone mentioned I could just buy a bike at KMart or similar store for $75.00.

Anyone know if the stores in Reno sell out also??
