I carry a level up in gear as injuries while MT biking are usually more severe
Bleed stop packets Gauze pads Wrapping bandages Soap Hydrogen peroxide Rubber gloves Extra joint…
I’ve helped clean up and stabilize people plenty of times. It’s nice to be ready.
Bit different as I’m on a bike but…
I bring: Enough extra water for someone else. Extra medical supplies
I believe it’s an influencer
Yes. There are many
To me yes.
I believe environment opens people up in a way not found commonly outside of the event.
It’s also a selection bias situation. Those that go are more inclined to bring open maybe.
I grew as a person, made friends, and shared feelings with strangers openly.
10/10 experience.
I agree with that.
I believe there are discounted tickets and even free tickets offered to minority artists as well as grants for art installations.
I guess what I’m saying is the largest qty of people going are of a middle/low income based on the average location called home.
The rich represent a fairly small portion. Some of the people in my camp are way above my income but their generosity was astounding. IMO BM brings out the exceptional qualities of people.
Don’t know the average but I think base price is about $600.
I heard that the main chunk of your tickets cost goes to renting out the desert and paying for the federal Ranger and local police support
Income is heavily affected by cost of living. We pay much higher rates for housing, fuel, and groceries than most of the country. Even in more of the rural areas incomes, generally SKU hire to make living somewhat affordable.
What a wonderful experience.
I loved every minute of the week.
So many genuinely kind and caring people.
The most staggering revelation I had was that many of my preconceived judgments based on stereotypes were way wrong. We camped with people that I would not normally connect with in the default. Some of these people I think have the potential to be strong, lifelong friends
There’s more in common Than there is a difference.
People go on and on about Tech, Bros and sparkle ponies, but scenarios like this, allow those of us, with the best intentions to shine. I hope this year’s Takeaway is more about the strength of unity than anything else
The census data does not support that claim
The majority the incomes are middle class (50,000 - 100,000) and as the majority of the participants are from California, that does not go very far.
Borrowed my brothers scooter.
Had a blast around Sun River near Bend Or. perfectly sunny day for a 25 mile cruz. All paths and low traffic mid week.
Climbed to the top of Lava Butte Lookout.
So much to explore in this sport. Enjoy!
Hoping to build up this community with lots of great content.
Share your ride, ask some questions about upgrades, discuss car free lifestyles … whatever!
Hey everyone. Wanted to start a community where we can share the love of cargo biking.
Please share tech questions, life style questions, anything really.
Happy to discuss and help anyone through their conversion to a freeing themselves and their family from car independence!
It’s awesome to see these stations filled up around town and neighborhoods. Wishing this system and the communities who use them the best of luck!
This one is out side of Humble Sea Brewing. Right next to the rail trail is a great way to encourage safer transportation.

It’s a dangerous job. The fumes are toxic and they are constantly exposed to them in high levels.
