I've gotten several emails from people wondering why the shop was closed on a Wednesday at 2pm or a Friday in the early evening. I kind of don't have the heart to tell them the world doesn't revolve around you so all I say is "Our hours are Saturday 12-5." We're working on pushing those hours to earlier in the day or adding another day, but for the moment it's not in the cards.
In fact, we've been forced to keep the doors shut this weekend due to a surprisingly heavy demand last Saturday. We're down to 4 bikes (from 12 at the start of the day) and just don't have the inventory to open up. Actually, it's quite a nice problem to have. We're ordering parts for some of the long term projects and taking some time to get all the work we've been putting off done. Here's a preview of some of the things you'll see in the shop when we reopen on the 15th.
-A police surplus TREK hardtial bike! It's a 19.5" monster with a brand new wheelset! No price yet but it's a beauty to behold.
-A 54cm lugged frame Panasonic road bike (previously referenced)! We're pricing it at $150.
-A high end dual-shock mongoose MTB. It's a welded aluminum frame with a mechanical front disk break. We also haven't priced this bike but it'll likely sell in the low end of the premium range.
-A tandem cruiser bike. I've never had one of these in the shop before but i'm excited to get it up on the stand. Price is TBD but it will be less than 1/2 of what a new one would cost.
-A tandem road bike. We're still working on this one. I hope to have it ready on the 15th!
-We also will have one more "special" road bike in stock. No more hints.
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!
