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.

October 12th Chain Links



Happy Monday everyone. If you haven't already I suggest a nice strong cup of coffee and a swift kick to the head to keep you awake on this dreary, rainy, and likely bikeless day in Tally. If those don't work then how about some cool stories from Korea, Chicago, Seattle, Dallas, St. Pete, and Macon to pass the time?

First: Costco has finally let me down. It's not a big deal though, I can always just go and get a $1 churro and feel better.
Second: I don't think I can support this but you gotta admit, it's a new way to get your bike back. I hope it works.
Third: Korea may be putting it's effort into the wrong bike related problem.
Fourth: These pics are just cool.
Fifth: I'm sorry I missed this. Maybe next year.
Finally: I'm glad I missed this.
