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.

New Extended Hours

By popular demand we have added another day to our roster of open days. We will now be open Wednesdays from 10am-2pm (sound familiar?). While Wednesdays will never have as big a selection of bikes as Saturdays it will have the major advantage of having two mechanics on duty. That means your repairs will get done even faster. Repairs dropped off any time on Saturday can now be picked up on Wednesday or the following Saturday (repairs dropped off before 2 can still usually be picked up on Saturday).

While Saturdays and now Wednesdays are our only open days, we're still looking to expand. To do so we need your help. We need volunteers to help run the shop on Saturdays and potentially Sundays. If you're interested please email Thegreenbicycleproject@gmail.com.
