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.

News Dump

A quick update for the end of the month!

First, new bikes are in! We have a pair of smaller name brand bikes in the shop for under $100! We also have the first hybrid of the year and a pair of hybridized mountain bikes. If you haven't been in lately you might also want to know about the several road bikes and a new cruiser bikes that's also on the floor. Thas alotta bikes.

Second, we're having the next free bicycle repair class on Saturday February 20th at 6pm. Registration must be in person at the shop. We've again limited the number of participants to 10 so hurry!

Third, I'm informed that we'll be transitioning the main page to a new server fairly soon. That'll mean a redesign of the site and some new features. There's alos a chance we'll have an integrated blog. I'll let you know what I know more.

Finally, in case you were worried, the fish are doing swell. After some initial problems with fish dying I've managed to stabilize the tank and have even added some new decor! I hope to have the final product done in just a few weeks.
