Rent a Playa bike and help us fix thousands of bicycles!Each year Hammer And Cyclery fixes thousands of bicycles at Burning Man. We are a full service repair shop (limited parts) with all of the tools and talent to help Burners everywhere have the smoothest, safest (reddest) week possible on their Burning Man bike. We are open from 10am to 6pm every day (Monday to Monday). Stop by for repairs, spoke work, safety consultations, workshops, tire pressure checks, to volunteer, or just to swap stories and celebrate the color red. Hammer And Cyclery is made possible through our bicycle rental program (all monetary transactions occur prior to the start of Burning Man). Pick up your bike at our camp (Playa address announced in July). 2017 will be our eighth year on the Playa. Last year we laid hands on as many as 2500 bicycles. In 2017 we'll be bringing more mechanics, more tools, more bikes, and more red.
