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 World Sport Road Bike


The first complete road bike offered by the GBP is a 56cm Schwinn World Sport road bike. It's a lugged steel frame, 10 speed, shift on the neck, bike that is very light. The bike shifts like a dream and has very good breaks. It even has sissy handles (the ones that let you break from the middle). The wheels are 700s with gumwall tires and schrader tubes. This is a higher end bike as evidenced by the rear derailer being mounted on the frame (not on the axle) and it's surprisingly light weight.

Options: The seat shown is one of 3 you can choose from at the time of purchase (no charge). The buyer may also choose to add a set of mid-range Bontrigger tires for $20 more.

This bike is being sold as a "premium" bike to help finance the rental of a workspace. As such it is priced at $200.

NB: I'd like to thank Jim who traded this bike for one of the MTBs that was listed earlier on the site.
