A few updates for the masses.
First, we kicking off a weekly email (Wednesdays or Thursdays) that will update those on the list with all of the GBP's upcoming events including sales, promotions, events, and classes. The email will also contain a list of our known new bikes (eg: the ones we've finished fixing since we opened the Saturday before) and some of the project bikes we expect to finish soon. Think of it as a more formalized version of the blog.
Second, we now have a new bigger warehouse (WOOT!)! That means that we have more space to store all those funky and, frankly, disturbing creatures we call "in progress" bikes. The extra space allows us to be more productive (hopefully) and it certainly allows us to store more stuff. The "more stuff" also means we can again offer a service which I missed, the used spare parts exchange. Currently we only offer accessories (seats, pedals, waterbottle cages, etc.) but starting in the near future we will have a list of used parts available for sale. The prices for these parts will range from $1-$5. Alternatively, you can always buy a parts bike for $10 and pull anything you want. Check the shop for details.
Third, we took in almost 30 bikes this weekend with about 1/2 being brand name mountain bikes. We also got in a pair of road bikes, a cruiser, and two hybrids. Here's a partial list (whit i remember) of what came in.
Ross women's road bike
Men's road bike (large)
Sun cruiser
Pacific MTB (thumb shifters)
Men's and Women's Fuji MTB
Gary Fisher men's MTB
Trek 820 (sold)
Mongoose MTB
Off brand cruiser
There's more but I can't remember the rest. We'll post a full list in the email.
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!
