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 29th Chain Links


First off I'd like to welcome all of our friends from China who are now tuning in and commenting. Those posts about "penis enlarging" were riveting. Thanks. Aside from reading those (google translate or a working knowledge of Chinese required) I also have some links for you all to enjoy. In today's world spanning chain links we have bells in Tampa, New bikes in Uganda, and a bicycle moving business in Missouri.


First: CAPTURED! Man riding a bike with no bell. Another menace to society off the streets.


Second: Sometimes even charity can't find enough funding. In a country where $2 is a month's wages, why charge for a luxury?


Finally: I'd bet dollars doughnuts that my cousin had a hand in this. If you come across a picture of a heavily tattooed woman in a tutu relating to this story, you've just met the cuz.
