I made a deal this week to buy a consignment of bikes from an old summer camp. There are potentially 13 bikes coming out of this deal including 2 hybrid cruisers, a road bike, 9 men's MTBs, and one woman's MTB. As I haven't gotten any of them onto the repair rack yet I have no idea how many will make it back to the road, but rest assured, the GBP will have bikes for weeks to come!
Also, in an effort to expand, we will be moving to a new location (TBD). The additional space allows for two things. First, as soon as we're settled I will be holding saturday repair clinics. Come learn basic bike mechanics and help get bikes back on the road! Second, the additional space will allow for EVEN MORE BIKES! I already go on "hunting" trips but I also take donations, trades, or buy. If you have an old bike that wants to get ride of it or know of someone who does email me at thegreenbicycleproject AT gmail.com. Remeber, the GBP is a not-for-profit not a charitable organization. I can not give recipts with donations. To lean more about tax rules for donations consult this link.
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!
