By the end of the festival those "streets" are powder and you need wide low pressure tires to get around without bogging down. Forget 37 mm wide, think 50 mm and up. It's not by accident that almost all the bikes you see are fat tire cruisers. Second thing to remember is have lots of water-carrying capacity on your bike because it is in the middle of a desert. Think Tucson with less pavement and fewer trees (as in none) and much more dust. My buddies went with 75 Oz capacity Camelbacks and had to make frequent returns to camp for refills, and they were mostly walking. One thing to remember: wide tires.

The roads have no lane markings, no traffic lights, no stop signs or any other signs. Bike traffic can be very dense and seemingly chaotic in some areas, but I've never seen an accident. It's quite a sight to see. *The theme for 2010 is Metropolis. I second Janet. It’s a dense Metropolis* of nearly 50,000. Everyone gets around by walking and by bike.
