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.

Moles and Trolls

All they do is work work work. Unfortunately that's my weekend. I'm being asked to come in to my day job tomorrow (the NERVE!) so I won't be at the GBP. If you were planning on coming by, drop me a line and we can set something up.

Also, there's been a vicious rumor that we're working on getting both a new location and sponsorships. I'm not sure who started the rumor (no, actually I KNOW who started the rumor) but this one is true. We're currently looking at 3 locations with a decision due by the middle of next month. As for sponsorships, we're working with several in town and out of town bike shops and manufacturers to try and reduce our costs even further. Why do you care? Because lower costs mean lower prices!

Hi!

My name is Oscar and I'm looking to purchase a road bike from you guys. I think the concept and practice of the green bicycle project is awesome!

I'm a college student so I don't have a lot to spend, and all I'm really looking for is a way to get around town. My preference is for a road bike.

Thanks!

Oscar
