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.

Happy New Year!

Good by 2009, we hardly knew ye! Is it gone? Sweet. Honestly, 2009 was kinda a downer. It really brought down the room; ya know? Fortunately 2010 is looking to be a much better year. The GBP is starting it out right by offering a big contest. We call it THE FISH TANK PROJECT! To start off, we've installed a massive 180 gallon fish tank right in the middle of the shop. It's amazing. There's water, and gravel, and even lights! We've also added fish. A LOT OF FISH. There are so many fish Mike can't count them all. Why is that important? Well, Mike lost the receipt and we paid by the fish. So to find out how much we spent we need your help. Count, estimate or just plain guess how many fish are in the tank and write it on one of the entry blanks located next to the tank. When the next bank statement comes (Feb. 1) we'll match the guess to the billed total. The winner will be the person who comes the closest without going over. What do you win? Well we're giving away a bike of course! As a consolation prize we'll also be giving away $5 gift certificates to who ever guesses second and third closest. Not bad for writing a number on a slip of paper!

*Contest subject to terms and conditions. See thegbp.org for full rules.
