Basically don’t be an idiot and crash into a pile of rocks, which can theoretically cause sparks, and don’t get into a situation with a fully loaded bike that can cause pedal strike on a rock. I do a not-insignificant amount of bike camping and I’ve never come across situations like this.

Since 2002, the area beyond this fence has not been accessible to Burning Man participants during the week of the event. In its early years, the community grew by word of mouth alone, all were considered participants under their contribution to the cacophonous situationist vibe.
