Burning Man's Bike Shop!3:30 & Gort (2018) Hammer And Cyclery is a community of people dedicated to keeping Burning Man moving. Bicycle rentals pay for it all. We work together as a camp to repair bicycles, receive donations, and facilitate events. Our crew hosts more than 1000 people per day! Hammer And Cyclery fixes thousands of bicycles at Burning Man every year. At our core, we are a full service repair shop (limited parts) with all of the tools and talent to keep Burners rolling until Labor Day. We are open from 10:30am to 5:30pm every day (Monday to Monday). Stop by our camp on 3:30 & Gort for repairs and workshops . Bicycles are the excuse, but working with amazing people toward an important goal, that is the real point of Hammer And Cyclery. Our work makes a real difference for thousands of people. Support our effort by renting a bike (pick up at our camp). Or for the especially bold, JOIN US!
