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.

Back in black!

Ok, so we've gotten trough the holiday season in one piece. No more holidays till Valentines. Perfect. What? We still have Christmas and New Years? Blerg. Well, fortunately both are on Fridays which means the GBP will be open! W00T! We'll also be open tomorrow (Saturday) during normal hours.

No structured sale this week but there are about 1/2 a dozen bikes that were nearly done before the break that should be on the floor by day's end. We're also marking down some of the bikes that have been sitting around for a while to try and get some more room for January and the spring semester rush.

Last but not least we have a GBP first. We have a brand new bicycle in the shop. It's a 56cm fixie road bike that came to us new in the box. We'll have it asymbled and ready to ride for just $300 tomorrow. I promise you it won't last the day.
