Bicycle Learning Center

Adam, BLC Instructor & Mechanic

The Bicycle Learning Center (BLC) of Cal Poly Humboldt is here for students learning how to maintain their bikes. We aim to keep more bikes on the road as an alternative to more polluting forms of travel. Students may come to the BLC with a wide range of bike knowledge and we are happy to help them all. We work closely with students to cover common repairs like a flat tire or dig into bizarre issues with shifting gears. The best part is that students will do the repairs themselves when possible, and parts are free to students if we have them available.

Renewable Energy Student Union 

The Renewable Energy Student Union (RESU) is an on-campus club in the Environmental Resources Engineering (ERE) Department at Cal Poly Humboldt. The club strives to provide an inclusive environment for students to learn about renewable energy, and to create a place of community. RESU participates in ERE club events and hosts its own events such as field trips to local microgrids. The club also maintains the Solar Radiation Monitoring Station on the campus library rooftop, which sends data to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory database.
