So if you came by the shop between 2 and 4:30 thank you. We managed to wipe out the entire inventory of repaired bikes and even a few of the not so repaired ones. If you showed up after 4:30 I apologize. We were out of bikes and I was feeling very dizzy (the whole not eating all day and being on my feet since 7am might have done it) so I went home for dinner.
In other news, the new shop is all set and all we have to do is move. We will be doing that next week and thus won't be open for normal business (sorry). We will of course be taking donations and filling special orders as necessary. Oh, and if you're worried you won't be able to find us, don't. We're just moving around the corner in the same complex. As usual, FOLLOW THE BIKES!
There has also been some talk about new bikes. We do have three new bikes coming into the shop. The first is a Mongoose BMX bike w/ pegs. Someday I'll find a market for these and BOOM, no more BMX in stock. However, at the moment we now have 5 BMX bikes in the shop. The second bike is a BEAUTIFUL purple beach cruiser. I know you girls have been looking for them, and I managed to get an amazing one. Finally, I will be bringing in my own personal bike to donate. This bike is a Mongoose dual shock, all aluminum bike. It's not a walmart mongoose but a bike store bike that I rebuilt from the frame up. I haven't set prices on these bikes yet, but I will take orders.
Finally, the GBP will be moving to a new webpage to go along with the new store. I'll post the link as soon as I have it. The new site will include much more detailed pages and a more up to date list of our bikes. There's even some talk about having it accept online payments (but I still refuse to ship). As part of having a new site, all traffic from this site will be redirected as soon as the new site up up and running.
PS: If you stopped by the shop today and I promised to call or email you, my phone has died (actually, I killed it) and your contact info with it. Can you please email me at the address listed above so we can contiune our conversation?
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!
