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.

SOLD: Cruiser



Yesterday I saved a beautiful old woman's cruiser from becoming a lawn ornament (it was literally going to be buried in the ground and have flowers planted around it). The bike is in rough condition (read: rusted) but all the parts are still in working order. I'm going to apply some good ole elbow grease and restore the chrome and maybe paint the bike. Assuming it only needs the good cleaning and lube I think it does then my guess is $40 for the price.

PS: I'll take requests on the color, no deposit needed.

I am interested in this bicycle! If you are still looking for color suggestions, kelly green would be my preference. Please let me know if the bike is still for sale and if the $40 estimated price remains. Thanks, Suzi
PS-My husband may be able to turn wrenches for this project. Where is the work done and what kind of hours do you operate?

This is Suzi again. How do I email you? Your blog says the best way to reach you is by email, but I can't find an address. Am I blind? Please lemme know if I'm missing it! I want this bike still and I'm ready to ride! Thanks, Suzi.
