Welcome to the GBP Blog

This is the Blog associated with our main website TheGreenBicycleProject.org

The GBP has merged with Damn Good Bikes LLC. Please visit the new blog for more recent updates.

We are the GBP. Our mission is to keep bikes on the road and thus keep cars off. We call this “Bikecycling”; that’s recycling, but for bikes. The concept is simple. Take a bike that’s no longer wanted, broken, or even bound for a landfill and apply a bit of knowhow and a lot of elbow grease and you get a bike that can last someone for years. These bikecycled bikes are sold at a price that covers only our costs in repairing them so as to provide bicycles at the lowest cost possible. All of our bikes are repaired and tuned by a mechanic so that from the moment you pick them up they are ready to hit the road. Take a look below for our current project bikes and completed rides.

Location:
We are located in the US Storage facility at Capital Circle NE and Mahan Rd. While have moved into our new store, we are in the same complex. To get there follow the road through the complex, around the 90 degree bend and make the first left (at the tree). We'll be the first store front on your right. Sound complex? The best way to find us is to follow the bikes!

Buying our bikes:
Please visit our main website at thegreenbicycleproject.org for information about buying our bikes. You may also email us at Thegreenbicycleproject@gmail.com.

SOLD: Schwinn 56cm Road Bike


This bike is a red Schwinn road bike from the early eighties. It's a 10 speed, 56cm bike with 27" wheels. The bike has new tires, but is waiting on cables and new handlebar wraps. The estimated time of completion of this bike is Jan 14th. This bike will be priced at $125 when complete. If you wish to purchase the bike BEFORE I've completed work I can customize parts for you for no additional cost beyond any additional cost of your requested parts.

Note: This bike is waiting for parts and all dates are estimated

Hey Mike, I am interested in this bike. Any chance you can shoot me an email @ cjellan@gmail.com so we can set something up? I live in Atlanta, but will be in Tallahassee this weekend and would love to stop by.

Thanks,

-Chris
