Just the fact that you asked a question like that indicates you have not read the Survival Guide, something NO ONE should neglect to do!
No. You cannot buy or rent ANYTHING on the playa, with the exception of coffee and ice, and sometimes septic pumping from the trucks that service the porta potties.
Non-commercialism is one of the most basic elements of Black Rock City!

Re: renting/buying bike on the playa
There are several folks that rent bikes but all of those transactions happen outside of BM proper. No commerce.
There are also "Yellow Bikes" which are community bikes that you are free to use if you spot one. That are single use and cannot be claimed for the duration if the event. They are painted lime-green.
This late in the game I'd guess that most rentals are all spoken for.

Read the Survival Guide, unless you want to be denied entry at the Gate, end up at Medical, facing an expensive bill to get evacuated to Reno, ejected from the site, fined, or otherwise have an unpleasant Burn.

That's one word I regret googling during breakfast.

Video games are giving kids unrealistic expectations on how many swords they can carry.

, but don't harm the red dragon that frequents the area from time to time. He and I have an agreement.
