Ed one of the Mechanic’s:
To these mechanic’s and cyclers on campus positions like Ed’s are the holy grail of campus jobs. For two years Ed has been a mechanic at The Spoke and has loved every minute. From the age of six he was riding his bike all over his suburb near Chicago. He later became more and more intrigued in road biking, searching for speed by propelling himself down steep roadways. Ed came to Colorado State University three years ago to study civil engineering in pursuit of working in the hydro energy industry. The end of this year marks his second year racing with the CSU Cycling Club. Ed’s favorite local riding spots are Rist Canyon and Blue Sky Trail.
