Hokey Spokes
” Hokey Spokes Hokey Spokes are transparent “”blades”” that attach to your bicycle spokes. As these blades spin during riding, a computer inside the blades modulates the internal LED lights so that design images and custom text appear.
The user can decide how many spokes in a variety of colors they want to place on the bicycle wheel. Up to 6 “”Blades”” can be placed on each wheel. The more blades, the more visibility and persistence of vision at lower speeds. 2 Blades/Wheel look good, 3 Blades/Wheel look great, and more than three look amazing.
Hokey Spokes are designed so that they fit virtually any mountain or road bike with a wheel diameter of 24″” or greater. Hokey Spokes can be used on front and back wheels at the same time.
Each Hokey Spoke contains a number of designs and messages. The blades can cycle through all the designs or can be set to play a custom text message all the time. Play mode is selected by using one of the waterproof keys located on any blade.

With a ¼ inch UV-stabilized wall and robust design HOG doesn’t puncture, doesn’t roll, and will last for a lifetime of Burns. Used by 3 camps last year the holes that stabilize the shape also make HOG easy to handle and build with on the playa. Sit on them, stand on them, stack your gear on them even sleep on them and know that your drinking water is safe and sound. The HOG has won five international sustainable design awards for its innovation and was named one of 2008’s Top 10 Green Building Products.

The Blacksmith Shop/Iron Monkeys
http://theblacksmithshop.com/playastaples.html
“The Blacksmith Shop along with the Iron Monkey Arts make Playa Staples. These are hand-forged, square stock steel tapered to points at each end and bent into a ‘candy cane’ shape. When hammered into the ground they lay flush with the playa and will not trip or skewer people like that unsafe rebar stuff. They enter the playa easily and stay secure until it’s time to go. Playa Staples are removed quickly and simply by levering them straight up. They’ve been around since 2003 and are time tested and burner approved.
These fit into Pre-paid Priority USPS mail boxes so shipping is standardized. Please see the Website for more information.”

VeloMini
“We are just launching the VeloMini, a new small folding bicycle that is available with an electric motor or as a traditional bike. The VeloMini is perfect for burners with tight space.
The VeloMini sells for $995 with case and the VeloMini Lite (non electric) sells for $499 with case. Burners can type BM in the coupon code to receive $100 off the electric and $50 off the non-electric. I am hoping to have a solar charging solution available by BM.
The VeloMini Lite, non electric can be taken home as checked package. The electric would need to be ground shipped. I can ship either one to your home or I may be able to have them ready for pick up in Gerlach. (Contact me if you are interested in pick up at Gerlach at doug@velomini.com The bike will need to be paid for at time of order and picked up by noon Sept 1st.)

Bunnywarez
“Bunnywarez is run by M and Jovino; two bunnies from Oakland, California. M’s first year on the playa was 1996, and Jovino’s was 2000. Our four year old business sprang from our love of creative costuming. Everything we make is created with outdoor parties and camping in mind. We love playful, furry style, and all the things you see on our site are our own original designs. We strive to make all of our garments both fun and functional.
Our super cute animal jammies – for grownups – feature deep pockets, long double-ended zippers, and adjustable elastic at the ankles. They are cozy and adorable, while being extremely practical!
We also offer faux fur hats, which are fully lined and cut long in back to warm your neck; as well as fleece-lined faux fur wristiecuffs with roomy stash pockets, and the ever-popular legwarmers.
Kittygirl (and -boy) alert: we have cute clip-on ears and furry kitten mittens too!
We take pride in saying that all of our items are made with love in Oakland California. We hope you’ll have as much fun wearing our creations as we do making them. Remember to mention Burning Man for extra goodies in your order!
