BICYCLE REPAIR! (Daily 10:30am to 5:30pm)

Obviously. That's what we do. It's who we are! We have professional mechanics attacking bike problems all day long. Sometimes we have parts. If you're keen to learn, we'd love to teach you how to fix your own bike.

If you're reading this off-Playa, make sure to pack a 26 x 1.95-2.125" spare tube. Even if you don't need it, someone you know will. You know what, bring ten spare tubes and give them away!



BICYCLE REPAIR DEMONSTRATIONS (Daily 10:30am to 5:30pm)

We're already doing the repairs. Might as well show off to all of the people waiting to have their bike fixed. So, we're building a stage to show Burners how to repair thair own bike while they wait! Something about Radical Self-Reliance and such.



YEAR ROUND CREW MEETINGS AND BIKE BUILDING (Off-Playa in Minneapolis only)

Hammer And Cyclery lives at Recovery Bike Shop in Minneapolis when we're not at Burning Man. Every week (almost) we open our doors to other Burners or potential Burners or non-Burners to teach bicycle building, repair, and the culture of Burning Man. Stop by! As with everything we do, no experience necessary.







Hammer And Cyclery and Re-Cycle, Inc share no official affiliations with Burning Man or Black Rock City, LLC.
