Shows a lack of environmental responsibility, wouldn’t you say?
He looks like a charismatic leader to me
Well, somebody will clean up the bikes.
Just hauling them to Reno would be better than leaving them in the desert, of course…
Don’t you see? It’s a conceptual art installation…
Well, maybe…
…Hell, I’d like one of those, and I can pay for it. Put ‘em on Craigs list. Ship a nice one ( with overload springs, please ) to Dorris. DD
Bummer! If I had known I would have taken a couple back home with me. Next Year!
IMO, just hauling a bike to the side of a paved road would turn it from garbage to something useful to somebody somewhere.
Think of all the starving kids in China that don’t have a. . . . .never mind.
Give them to needy children.
Irresponsible abandoners, sure, but WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY!! Turn those bikes into cash for kids or art or schools or … Haul ‘em, wash ‘em, auction ‘em on the web. Target the Burner community. Thousands of us need bikes for next year.
2000 bikes at 100 bones each = 200,000 bones, people! THAT is fat cash for needy people somewhere. Pay some kids 5 bones per washed bike, by a domain… burnerbikes.com or something. Tweet the shit out of it. Easy charity. I’ll help – @mrconcinnity
Do the maths, 2000 bikes left from a party of 50.000 is understandable. “I need a ride home!” OK but we have no room for that bike… Not bad for a good party, “Every good party I have ever been to has been trashed”
