Instead of a bike, what about a scooter?
Electric or otherwise. Wally World has some cool-looking ones, for cheap.
Except they take only up to 170 lbs, and are electric. Until I find that magical outlet tree…I wonder if the frame could be used, and convered to solar or gas? I wish I knew about that stuff. Or knew someone who did. We could make a gas-powered one.
Just a plain ol’ push scooter would work, too. Or not – I mean, seems like I would have seen/read about that, as easy and convienent as it seems (as a method of transportation on the playa).
This one’s probably a wee bit too fragile for my thugness, but it only takes 2 AA batteries!
This one holds up to 220lbs, and gets 40 min. to a charge (which would be fine at Tmus, but not enough on the playa, I’d think – and that whole no outlets in the woods issue).
This one goes four miles on one charge (not sure about mileage v. time per charge?). And I like this one alot, with the storage box on it, but it dosen’t mention (that I saw) how many miles/time it gets.
Or whatever.
I'm going to Burning Man.
