All those bikes are massed produced in China and will be recalled in a week due to high levels of lead in the paint. I said it first. Ha!

Unwittingly. Frankly I don't care if they did and made a nice photo-op, as long as the brand name isn't visible anywhere at the event. This is an amazing donation! Re: distribution: hahaha! If the bikes aren't just left around for people to find, ride, forget, crash, hoard and destroy, then I don't know Burning Man. Maybe Huffy just donated the boxes. Unwittingly.

So much for self reliance and anti-sponsorship. Sorry. Maybe I'm just grumpy tonight. I'll feel better when Winnebego gives me a free RV to sleep in. What's going to happen with all those bikes afterwards? Anonymously donated by Huffy from the looks of the photo.
