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.

Sneek peek

A quick midweek update on some exciting stuff at the GBP. First, we just got in a shipment of commonly requested replacement parts. All these are brand spanking new and all of them are priced at or below $15!

Rear racks for your touring/hybrid bike ($15)
Tires for your road bike ($12)
Tubes for your road bike ($5)

We also have some very nice used parts and accessories such as mini pumps, seat bags, and repair kits. These sell from $2-$10.

Second, the GBP will be rolling out some new features with the new shop. We will be adding a "Lost Bike" bulletin board to both the new website and in store. If you've had your bike stolen or just can't find it (I suggest GPS) feel free to post in either place.

Finally, we are in the process of designing a new GBP shirt. If you are artistically minded or just bored, give it a go. Maybe you just might win! The prize is a new mountain bike or a $50 credit. Official contest details will we posted here, on the new website, and in the shop.
