But because of the many parties folks will be attending on Sunday, you might want to avoid the grocery store that morning and possibly on Saturday, too — unless you want to compete with all those hosts and guests doing last-minute party planning.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>How long will the Super Bowl last, roughly?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A 2017 analysis from \u003cem>The Verge\u003c/em> found that in previous years, \u003ca href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2017/2/4/14403598/how-long-is-the-super-bowl\">the average length of the Super Bowl was just under four hours.\u003c/a> This \u003cem>could \u003c/em>mean you get until around 7:30 p.m. to enjoy the lack of crowds … or even shorter. Or even longer. There’s no way to predict the exact length of the game, but it’s virtually certain that you’ll get at least three hours of play — and you can pretty safely plan on having until 6:30 p.m. to revel in a crowd-free Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/san-francisco\">Sunset on Sunday — in San Francisco at least — is forecast to be 5:44 p.m\u003c/a>., meaning your precious Super Bowl window of (hopeful) solitude could also encompass a hike — more on that below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you plan to take a drive that Sunday, you may wish to use your phone to keep a light eye on how the game is progressing.

The art gathering and do-it-yourself festival traces its origins to 1986, to a beach in San Francisco. But these days, the \u003ca href=\"https://burningman.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">massive event\u003c/a> takes place outside Reno, Nevada. Almost 70,000 “Burners” are expected to convene in the dry alkali desert, or \"playa,\" along with their bicycles. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When it ends, most of the festival’s structures and artworks will be ritually burned, or dismantled and taken away.

They whizzed by on pink, black and green single-speed cruisers. “We're going to go riding to a friend's house,\" a girl shouted joyfully after she got her bike. \"To the store! To the school!

Adam Kahler, a volunteer mechanic, pulled a string of lights out from between some rusty spokes. “As part of the initial screening of these bikes, there was a lot of stripping of fur, and psychedelic-colored duct tape, and things like that,” Kahler said. “The desert kind of did a number on some of them.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11614457\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11614457\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/BurningMan2-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/BurningMan2-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/BurningMan2-160x240.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/BurningMan2-1020x1530.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/BurningMan2-1920x2880.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/BurningMan2-1180x1770.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/BurningMan2-960x1440.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/BurningMan2-240x360.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/BurningMan2-375x563.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/BurningMan2-520x780.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cousins Gloribelle Narvaez (left) and Rebeca Valtierra wait in line for volunteer mechanics to help them work on their flat tires and rusty chains. \u003ccite>(Kerry Klein/KVPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Burning Man is huge — about 5 square miles -- and the only kind of motorized vehicles that are allowed are art cars. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“If you walk, it would take you forever to get anywhere,” said Joie Adams, a five-time “Burner” from Fresno. “So bicycles are the mode of transportation.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adams says they’re also a means of self-expression. “You get furry bikes, you get lit-up bikes,” she said. “I had a friend that put a bubble maker on the back of her bike.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And yet every year, between 1,000 and 2,000 bikes are left behind on the playa. It’s an uncomfortable reality, because one of the festival’s guiding principles is “leave no trace.” In fact, trash is such a big deal that Burners have given it a special name: MOOP, for Matter Out Of Place. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“You do not leave trash,\" Adams said. \"You take it with you.

But these days, the \u003ca href=\"https://burningman.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">massive event\u003c/a> takes place outside Reno, Nevada.

But bikes are one item that many participants don't \"pack out.\" Year after year, organizers have had to repurpose, recycle or even throw away hundreds of abandoned or lost bikes.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This year, a shipment of those Burning Man bicycles ended up almost 400 miles south, in the farmworker town of Arvin, in California's Central Valley.
