An important message from one of our members:
Dear Humbike friends,
I am Carman Gentile, a dues-paid member of the HBBCA. I recently participated in an interesting research study at the Humboldt State University Kinesiology Laboratory where they are studying the oxygen consumption of older adults (over 65). The subjects perform some moderate exercises on a treadmill, a hand crank upper body ergometer, and stationary bicycle. The lead researcher there is an enthusiastic kinesiology student named Daniel Asian. They need more male and female volunteers to participate in this program.
The study is in particular need of women bicyclists over 65. If you’re interested, contact Daniel at Daniel.Aslan@humboldt.edu or call the Laboratory at 826-5973.
I invite you to join me in helping this worthwhile scientific effort.
Next Meeting:
The next regular HBBCA meeting will be held Monday, October 24th, 2016, 6pm at Carmela’s Mexican Restaurant, 13th and G Streets in Arcata. Dinner is optional. Agenda items may be suggested by emailing info@humbike.org.
Following Meeting:

Bike Commuter Assistance
Anyone who would like advice or assistance with riding to work or school is encouraged to contact us at info@humbike.org. We can set up prospective bike commuters with experienced riders that can provide guidance about preparing your bike, what to wear, the best route to take, how long to allow, and what to do with your bike when you get there.
