"I run a makerschool/design collaboration called Mind's Eye Manufactory on California's north coast. We explore and combine diverse materials and techniques, always with an eye towards things human-powered and hand-built, utilizing nature's elegantly simple answers. We build a lot of traditional skin-on-frame kayaks, for example, and are now eager to develop a bamboo bicycle building element. We've had a Herobike kit for two years as we wait for the right moment. Is there any interest out there in coming out to get something going with us? Check out Mind's Eye Manufactory on facebook."
