i'm stumped about how to get mine and gabriel's bikes to burning man.
too big to put in the back. too dangerous to just strap on the top. too much hassel to break them down and rebuild on playa. we've got a ball-hitch bike rack, but our trailer hitch is spoken for [by the pizza box], and all the roof-fit bike racks i can find are way expensive.

i guess we could get a second hitch, on the trailer, but i don't have $300 lying around to have it done with. maybe we could do it ourselves, if we had access to a welder...
does anybody have a metal work setup, and/or feel like letting gabriel use it for an afternoon? it would rock.

or does anybody just have a bright idea about where to put the bikes?

I'm sure there will be a way to get them up as we figure out the Spike's stuff.

The pizza box collapses, right? You might be able to lie them down and strap them to the top of that if you have some really long tie down belts.

Also, check craigslist or ebay for used bike racks. I got mine from friends who had kids and so don't get out much anymore.

I usually go with my roomie D, who has an rv and we tow his 5x8 trailer. If he goes or lets me borrow his set up I may be able to hook you up. Especially since you are around the corner from us.

So close yet so far away....
