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.

Where have all the bikes gone?

If you've been emailing me in the last week or so you may have noticed that I'm a little overwhelmed at the moment. Work + School + moving the GBP are taking up all my time. This makes fixing and posting new bikes a little behind for the week. To make up for this, I will be hosting a GBP open house at the new location (see the location bit in the intro) this Saturday from 10am-2pm. At the open house I will be doing free bike Tune-ups and unavailing a brand new bike! Don't want to let the cat out of the bag, but it's a gorgeous road bike that you really need to see to appreciate. There will of course be tons of bikes (some ready to go, some not) for you to look at as well.

I hope to see you all there!

I'm looking for a bike and have some questions. I looked for e-mail contact information, but didn't see it listed on the blog. Please e-mail me at betbrett@gmail.com
