Bike Gods Radical Self Reliant Bike Repair Operation

Bike trouble got ya down? Come visit the Bike Gods, where we practice radical self reliant bike repair 24 hours a day.  Our camp features 8 fully equipped workstations and tons of spare parts. We have caring and compassionate bike mechanics to assist you M-F 10am-6pm. Our bike shop is open all hours and is well lighted at night.

The Bike Gods repair shop mechanic hours works like this:  instead of our Bike Gods mechanics simply fixing a bike for a burner in need (our old model), we focus on bike repair as a collaborative effort between a mechanic and participant.  The Bike Gods guide and advise participants in their own bike repair. Since we started with this approach in 2018 it has been wildly successful and resulted in people not only learning how to fix and maintain their own bikes but also engaging in immediacy, radical self reliance and participation as well. Both our Bike Gods mechanics and our participants love how this interaction works so well.

24/7 Bike Shop at night with brilliant, flashing bike sign and bright lights to help you fix your bike.

Parts and Supplies: for Burning Man 2019 we supplied participants with over 400 tubes, including many hard to find odd ball tube sizes, along with tires, chains, saddles, pedals, wheel sets, nuts and bolts, rim strips, grips, etc all supplied by a bike shop in Reno.  We also had a large, dedicated “lube station”  to control drips or spills over an absorbent cardboard floor.

As usual all leftover tubes, tires, bike parts and supplies are donated to Burning Man’s DPW Yellow Bike program.
