Can you haul them from Salt Lake? Or will you need to buy a bike rack too?

Salt Lake burners can be found here: element11.org

I think people in Reno would make a killing if they organized garage sales around times when Burners were coming through.

Alot of people do. Especially on craigslist.
There is a bike shop of sorts on E. 4th St in Reno that caters to burners.

I note Doc Pyro offered you some storage in the Introduce Yourself thread. Make sure you look!

Or, here's another option from the Jack Rabbit Speaks newletter sent from [email protected]. No idea where this bike rental person is located but you could email him:

-------------------------------------------------------

RAT'S BIKES NOW OPEN FOR BIKE RENTAL RESERVATIONS FOR BM2011

Our friend Rat sez:

"Rat's Bikes for Long-Distance Burners is open for all the "Get It Done Early' Burners, with preference given to Burners crossing an ocean to attend. For more info or reservations, contact: [email protected].

Thanks!

Rat"

Jump on it, folks! Rat's bikes go fast!

At very worst, you can buy a brand new one from any Walmart along the way for $60-$90 depending on the model. Donate it after.
