We here at the Green bicycle project love bikes. It's what we do. The problem is, not everyone shares our love of our two wheeled friends. This is why we will be holding the First Annual SAVE THE BIKES bike tour. The idea is to show the people who think that a bike is a children's toy that your trust bicycle is just as useful as your car, if not more so.
Since we're still planning the event, all the details are still up in the air. Here's what I do know:
What: 2 Day Bike Ride from Tallahassee to St. George Island.
When: Sometime in June
Why: To promote bicycling as a means of transportation
How much: Free! Just pay for your food and Hotel/Camp Fee
The pace of the ride will be determined by what kinds of bikes are making the trip. I will be leading the road bike crew. If someone wants to volunteer to lead the MTB/Cruiser crew we can have a second group. The ride is about 80 miles each way so assume 6-8 hrs on a bike each day. The ride will take an entire weekend. We'll leave Tallahassee early Saturday Morning and return late Sunday Night. There will of course be a follow car for those who just can't make it.
At this point, nothing is set in stone, so if you have ideas, would like to participate, or would like to volunteer please email us at thegreenbicycleproject.org.
Update: So far we have half a dozen or so people interested in joining the ride. It looks like the generally accepted date will be the second to last weekend of June.
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!
