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 5th Chain Links

I'm exhausted from a long weekend of bikes and it looks like I'm not the only one. Here's 5 fun and sometimes funny stories about bike from the webosphere. Our subjects for today are philosophy, criminal justice, political science, art and design, and common sense.

First: Let us expound on the philosophy of the bicycle as it related to the automated human conveyance.


Second: No more campaign promises. All I ask is more taxes to fund more bike lanes.


Third: Art is in the design and flow of both humanity and their creations. Not only does the butterfly flap it's wings but so to does the air to hold the flier aloft.


Fourth: We all know from last class that your best method for catching a crook is the follow the evidence. In this case the evidence leads to several arrests.


Finally: If duct tape can be torn by hand, it is likely not the best method of securing your valuables.
