Who Are We?
The Bicycle Learning Center (BLC) is a student-run bike shop on campus. We strive to educate and advocate for the safe use of bicycles as an affordable, healthful and sustainable form of transportation and recreation, and to empower a community of bicyclists to feel confident cycling as well as sharing their knowledge and skills with others.
Our experienced mechanic-instructors are here to help keep your bike in peak condition. Bicycling is a great way to save money, reduce your carbon footprint, relieve stress and stay healthy! Whether you are new to bicycling or a lifetime cyclist, we have the resources to keep you in the saddle!
Location
The BLC is located adjacent to Center Activities, and RWC, under the stairwell to the West Gymnasium and Forbes Gymnasium.

Meet Our Team!
Hi my name is Henry. I am a Business admin major with a focus on new venture management. I love to snowboard, bike, play rugby, disc golf, travel, eat food and listen to music. When I was three years old I convinced my parents to take the training wheels off my bike. For about 10 feet I was cruising. Then promptly, I fell over. However this didn't stop me, I got back up and I got back up and I got back up again. For me biking has always been a way to relax, escape, connect and grow. One day I hope to bike across America!
My name is Dylan. Im a Bio major with a focus in education. I spend most of my time backpacking or building up old bikes. I have loved working at the Blc, from helping out on projects to seeing the little modifications that make a bike unique. It has been my favorite job to date.
Help us keep Humboldt's Bicycles on the Road (and trail)!
The Bicycle Learning Center (BLC) has been on campus for over 30 years, first as a student club staffed by volunteers, and then as the newest branch of WRRAP with paid student mechanic-instructors, for-credit interns and non-paid volunteers.
We pride ourselves in the stellar service we provide at no cost to the campus community. This includes specialized tools and assistance for bicycle maintenance needs. We also supply new and used parts at no cost to the campus community, including entire bicycles that we refurbish! We sincerely appreciate contributions to our ongoing fundraiser so we can continue to provide these items. Some supplies that we usually have in stock are:
- Patch kits and tire levers
- Tires & tubes (of many sizes)
- Cables and housing (for brake and shifting, mountain and road)
- Brake pads
- Handlebar grips & tape
- and more!
Donate to the BLC!
Help us continue to serve the campus community, build a culture of bicycling and get more bicycles to students in need! Your generous gift to this fund will go to purchasing parts and supporting current needs and priorities for the bike shop.
