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.

Better Than Black Friday Sale

Because we hate the black Friday lines as much as you do, the Green Bicycle Project is having their Black Friday Sale a week early! We will be offering $10 off your entire purchase of $100 or more, $25 off your purchase of $200 or more, and $100 off your purchase of $500 or more! What makes this sale better than black Friday? Well, we're also offering savings on all of our accessories! Buy any 2 accessories (new or used) and get one used accessory free!

It should be noted that several of the bikes listed in the previous post aren't ready yet. The sale only applies to what's ready... BUT! if you come in early I could be convinced to finish one or more of these bikes before closing. Otherwise, you'll just have to wait till December.

Sorry for the Down Time

It's been a hectic couple of weeks. First we were closed for Halloween, then Justin got a new day job, we both had midterms and finals eating all our time and now I’ve been sick. I hope you can forgive us if we didn't have a whole lot of time for the shop. The good news is that the shop is not dead and even though we've been silent on the interwebs we've been keeping our stock up in the shop. Here's what's new and a taste of what's still there!

Jamis Rangers MTB x2
Gary Fisher MTB
low cost MTB x2
ready to ride road bike
fixer road bike x2

We also have several mountain bikes from TREK, Dimondback, GT, and others just waiting for a shipment of parts.

Of course we still have some oldies but goodies

Free Spirit Single Speed RB
Trek Police Bike
24" wheel MTB x3
Giant MTB
GT MTB
Smaller Cruisers x2
Kids Bikes
and much more!

And we have some new accessories! We have a new shipment of new and used seats from $10, water bottles and cages from $3, and stainless steel water bottles for just $5!

We will be open normal hours on Saturday (12-5) this week but will be closed next week for the holiday. We will be taking appointments for individual bike showings so don't hesitate to ask!
