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.

August 26th Chain Links


Thank god it's hump day. To help you get over that last bit of the hump here are three articles arranged in order of length (shortest to longest) covering subjects from bicycle insurance to sweat to fancy rides made of bamboo.


First: In a incy wincy tiny pokadot letter to the editor, citizen Richard Wingfield makes three good points. Bikers don't pay for sh*t, Bikers have fewer safety laws than cars, and they don't have to carry insurance. But at least some bikers have realized that they look hotter in helmets.


Second: Tired of pit stains? Want to commute but can't bring yourself to ride that fixie in a suit? Well, tough nookies. The bad news is you're doomed. The good news is that Cool Green Science has some tips for not being so gross at work after a hot bike commute.


Finally: I consider this porn.
