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.

Time to GROW!

The Green Bicycle Project is GROWING! We've secured a MUCH larger space (in the same complex). The new shop will have more room for bikes, a nice quiet area for test rides, and LOWER PRICES! That's right, because we've been able to secure a retail space for the price of a storage unit we can purchase parts at wholesale prices and pass the savings along to you.

We are also going to be rolling out a new line of GBP merchandise. Everything from T-Shirts to stickers to water bottles will be available with a new GBP logo. Have I mentioned we're having a design contest for our new logo? No? Well we are! What will we be giving away to the winner? Why a bike of course! I'll post details in a later post.

One last thing. Because we'll be closed on the 11th to move (yes, that soon!), this weekend we will be having a moving sale at the old shop. Most bikes will be 10% or more off the normal price and all unfinished bikes will be available for sale at deep discounts.

If you've been looking for a bike, Saturday is the day to visit the shop!
