I've heard many say that "this is the coolest thing out here" (at Burningman). Very generous compliments, I must admit. I've had a lot of fun over the years with this mobile kinetic pyro-sculpture. This year (2009) will be Riding Man's last ride in Black Rock City. It is time for him to retire. Thank you to everybody's generosity and kindness and for the occasional assistance with bicycle mechanics! Cheers! Jonathan Buckmaster

Bummer! I hope we get to see you a few times, Jonathon. Best wishes in the coming years.

I only got to see you once at the Burn. Many thanks for your work over the years.

@charboyisonfire Did I not see you on the playa this year?! Short retirement! Loved it ;-) Thanks!

@drtune I think we saw him, too. I hope so - it's a knock-my-socks-off effect.

looks like a metal frame lit on fire with legs attached to the pedals and joints to make it seem real
