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.

Thank god you don't live in OR

This proposal goes against everything the GBP stands for. Oregon, being one of the most bike friendly states in the union, wants to charge bikes for the right to bike on the street. I could understand a small registration fee, but when the fee for 2 years of using a bike is as much as the bike itself? I think there's an issue there. What do you think?

In many Oregon cities, and especially in Portland, there are designated bike lanes allowing easy access for cyclists to anywhere in the city. Enough people commute on the regular road system that it might be a good idea to require registration, not only to cover the cost of maintaining lanes and trails, but to enable enforcement of bike traffic laws (these things aren't free). I'm not saying I welcome this proposal for Oregon, but, if I had the opportunity, I would definitely pay $26 a year to be able to commute to work in Tallahassee, something that is too dangerous and time consuming as it is.
