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 and road trip!

Just a quick heads up. I just posted 4 new bikes on the main website, 3 road bikes and a cruiser. All 4 are $100 or less! I meant to post the Trek too but neglected to take a picture. Woops.

Details on the ride to St. George are beginning the emerge. The date for the ride still seems to be the 13th. Still checking on a few details for the date (like will several of us have to be out of town on business). As of now it looks like camping on the beach (in the state park) is the general consensus. As several of our day jobs are for the FDEP we (and by we I mean Chris and I) will be working on getting free admission to the park and having the camping fee waived. The plan is to leave from the Saint Marks trailhead early Saturday morning, and then take the trail to 98. Take a lunch in Panacea (Angelo's anyone?) and then follow 98 to the beach. That makes our ride effectively a 36mile followed by a 42 mile ride on the way down. So far we have 6 people who are signed up to ride. We should have spots for up to 20? I still need someone to volunteer to be a follow car.
