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.

The Attack of the Premiums

Thank god I don't sell birds. If I did I think I'd have the makings of a good Hitchcock movie on my hands. Also, I am not Tippi Hedren (for those of you who just pictured me as Tippi Hedren I can take no responsibility for any loss of libido or sanity due to the image).

Fortunately I sell bikes. Even more fortunately the GBP has quite a few premium MTBs done and ready to ride! We have name brands including Trek, Specialized, Gary Fisher, and GT to name a few. Prices on Premium range from $100 to $275! Not enough? Well how about $10 off a $100 purchase and $20 off a $200 purchase? How u like them apples?

Not satisfied? Well, we're also starting the conversion of 6 road bike frames into fixies! Feel free to come by Saturday to watch (read: stand around and laugh at) us sand and paint the frames!
