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 24th Chain Links


It's been an odd few days in the bike link world. After a day off I come back to find 1/2 of the links in my inbox are identical and were published last week. I blame Google. Fortunately for you, I still found 3 sweet links to satisfy your hunger. We have everything from irony, to comedy, to just plain weird in store for you.


First: Isn't it ironic? This man peddled all the way across the county the raise money for the poor, then someone (likely poor) steals his bicycle. Talk about giving all you've got!


Second: Michael and Michael have issues with bikes. The streaming content is blocked on my computer (stoopid interwebs) but feel free to watch and report back.


Third: Quick, someone donate your car!
