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.

Accessories and the problems they cause

Soooooooooo, yea. We just purchased a ton of brand new accessories for the shop (sorry no locks this time). Our wholesaler has been on this price increasing kick lately so these may be as inexpensive as we see for a while. Fear not! For we always have used accessories in stock!

Here's a partial list of what's here and what's coming:
MTB Tubes (presta and schrader) ($5)
RB Tubes (presta and schrader) ($5)
Water bottles ($3)
WB Cages ($5)
Cyclo Computers with cadence ($10)
Bike Gloves ($10)
Storage hooks ($2)
Multi Tools ($7)
Bike Racks ($20)

We also have a HUGE lot of BMX/Racing Bikes and gear. We're still getting into the bikes (so much to do so little time) but we do have full face helmets (mostly in kids/ small adult sizes) for sale for $7. These things aren't your run of the mill plastic junk they're reinforced to survive most anything. Red, White, and Blue are available.
