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.

The Is have it

With pooling closed and all precincts reporting we know but one thing... we need a recount! I'm just kidding, this is Florida after all. We let the courts decide who/what we vote for.

Anyway, the GBP will be 6 months of free tune ups. However, as with any promotion there are some rules. First, to get 6 months of free tuneups you must purchase your bike from the GBP in MARCH and get a receipt. You must bring your receipt back with your bike for your free tune up. Second, there is a limit of once a month on tuneups (sorry but any bike that needs more than that has other issues). Third, tuneups are defined as a check of break and derailer functionality and the related adjustments. It does not cover parts, repairs (read: instalation of parts or other non-trivial fixes), or replacement of worn or inoperable components. Finally, we must reserve the right to refuse a tune up due to the condition of the bike or other problems. Bikes do not have to be in perfect condition but they must at least be in an operable state for any tuneing to be done.

Sorry about the restrictions. Our crack legal team made us do it. We don't mess with them, they're scary.
