You need a bike. And you need to lock it. Or you need to borrow a Yellow Bike, and follow the rules. You can’t park in the street and (if you borrow a Yellow Bike) you need to wear pants.
Burning Man is not a utopia It is a self-correcting system.

I don’t have time to watch your videos and I wish your videos had transcripts so I can read what you have to say.

Good feedback. I do get most of them captioned for Deaf Burners. I could probably get a txt file exported. But it loses a lot. :/

I agree, it wouldn’t take me 10 minutes to read this.

Ditto, I’m just don’t have the time for videos, but I appreciate what you offer. Best would actually be bullet points so I can absorb your knowledge. 12 years, but there’s always something new to learn Thanks!

Shorter “bikes”:
1. Bring a bike to Burning Man if at all possible. If you do, lock it while you’re at Black Rock and do NOT leave it behind. The thousands of bikes left behind this year made us look bad. (But we are cool anyway.)
2. “Yellow” bikes (actually they are green) are common property. Do not decorate them, and do NOT lock them! Once you get off it it isn’t yours any more. If you think you’ll need it later too bad. Find another one then, or arrange some other means of transport. We cut locks off these bikes when we can.
3. NEVER block roads by parking your bike on them. We need roads open for emergencies.
(Plus a lot of stuff about how wonderful BM is, which we knew already.)
There, I saved you 10 minutes. (Maybe 8 minutes, net.) Go out and use them to do good.
