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.

Trek-A-Thon

If you've been keeping up with GBP news, you may know that we're having a BIG garage sale the second weekend in July. What you may not know is that we'll also have 6 brand new (at least to us) Trek mountain bikes in the shop. Yep, 6 with an "S" and an "X" and likely an "I", but not in that order.

Here's the lowdown, we made a special purchase from a Police department in GA to get 4 of their spare bikes. At least one still says "POLICE!" We should have two of the 4 complete by the 11th and the other two will be frames+. We also have a pair of Trek 4500s (one red and one blue) that'll be hitting the shop floor at the same time. The blue one is ready to go with Rock Shox and carbon fiber handlebars and the other is nearly there.

So that's it, 6 Trek mountain bikes. In fact, you can buy all 6 for less than the cost of 2 new. Put that in your pipe and smoke it LBS!
