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.

September 17th Chain Links


I've been saving these up. Here's a short and sweet list of all the bike links I've found interesting this week.


First: Electric bikes are awesome. They're just more awesome than most can afford. Perhaps it's time for Obama to buy me a new bike!

Second: Yet another article on why bicyclists are ignorant. I'm not ignorant! You're ignorant!

Third: I think I got this speech from the sales guy a Performance in ATL...

Fourth: This just sounds cool!

Fifth: When you just don't have time to research an article they come out sounding like this...

Sixth: Part 3 of Cool Green Science's "awesome" bike series.

Seventh: Good idea, bad execution.

Eighth: One more account of why biking rocks!

Finally: This is short but has an interesting perspective.
