A Burning Man Bike Shop!It’s never too early to start talking about next year. Join us at Recovery Bike Shop Oct 12, 7pm for a beginners guide to Burning Man. This will be an informal event covering the basics of participation (costs, prep, culture, myths, etc.), but with a focus on how Burning Man is changing the world and can even inspire communities in Northeast Minneapolis, the best arts district in the US! Camp leads Seth and Elizabeth will be telling tales from the dust (and the mud) and answering questions. Come to talk. Come to listen. Come to join us in the dust in 2024. Or just come because you love the Northeast arts scene. All are welcome (even if you have no intention of ever going to Burning Man). If you are already part of the camp, come and help us extol the virtues of bicycle repair at Burning Man. There will be snacks!
