I'm a high school shop teacher. I'm a big fan of Edge Factor, and I have a load of students that are avid bikers, and would love to design parts for their bikes, or your's for that matter!

Reality Redesigned: R2
Hey all,
I'm a high school technology/engineering instructor. Students from schools and programs like mine will be designing solutions for common problems or perhaps very specific problems with your bikes. I'm a big supporter of what Edge Factor is doing, and the partnership they have formed with Pinkbike. I hope to see scores of problems large and small demonstrated and explained, so in the end young people have a chance to make at least make an attempt at solving a REAL problem vs. a theoretical problem from their physics textbook. Failure for them is absolutely an option in this, but this is a real chance for them to feel a part of something larger and cutting edge. I think all of you will be surprised what they come up with. They're young, crazy, uninhibited, and go for broke! (sounds like a certain bike community...) So I say this - make sure we submit problems first and foremost. I think you can have confidence in Edge Factor that there will be process in place for those ideas that are really hot. The young people submitting designs need tangible problems, and they can't wait to see what you guys come up with!
All my best,
Mark
