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.

New bikes, pt. 2

Now that my midterms are over I should have a much better chance to get through the backlog of bikes that have built up this past week. I mentioned in the last post that there were 6 new road bikes. It turns out that by weeks end there were 7 road bikes and 2 mountain bikes. Here's a basic list of the road bikes:

Large Men's no-name (Red)
Large Men's no-name (Blue), sold as-is
Medium Woman's Comet (Red)
Small Men's Peugot (Dk Blue)
Medium Men's Peugot (Blue)
Medium Women's no-name (Green), on hold
Medium Men's Free Spirit (Purple), on hold

There's also a small girl's dual shock MTB and a medium men's MTB (that needs some work). I don't have prices for the bikes yet as I haven't gotten too far into the repair process (some need parts). The general rule for pricing is something on the order of:

$50 for MTBs
$75-$100 for Hybrids
$100-$150 for standard road bikes
$150 and up for brand name or race worthy road bikes

It should be noted that 2 of the road bikes have been claimed. While not sold, someone has laid claim to them and thus will get first shot when they're finished. If you're interested in a bike email me or come by on Saturday. I will gladly put your name on a bike that's still being repaired.
