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.

Goodbye GBP, Hello Damn Good Bikes!

Today is a sad day for us at the GBP. Today we officially shut our doors to the world and begin the torturourus task of moving in with our friends at Damn Good Bikes. We at the GBP would like to thank you for your patronage and invite you to visit our new shop Damn Good Bikes at 652 B Capital Circle NE. The new shop will have all the used bikes and accessories of the GBP along with a larger selection of new bikes and accessories. We will of course offer the same service and bad jokes you knew and shuttered over at the old shop.

This will also be the last posting on this blog. For updates on the new shop please change your subscription to damngoodbikes.blogspot.com.

Moving!!!

The GBP is moving on up! We've got a brand new shop and there will be parties and celebrating, and drunken monkeys. Ok, maybe just Bryan with a lampshade on his head, but still fun! To get ready for our move we're having one big sale to clean out our inventory. Because the more we sell the less we have to move! We're talking up to 25% off bikes, all small used accessories are $1, and everything in the back is up for sale. Make an offer, we might just accept!

In case you're wondering, here's a partial list of the sale items:
All complete road bikes 10% off
All complete MTBs 15% off
All complete cruisers 25% off
All used accessories (excluding bike racks) are just $1
Every incomplete bike is up for sale.

This sale is tomorrow (Saturday 5/22) only so come early to get the best selection!
