We have a new feature here at the GBP Blog. We call it "chain links." In this section we'll be posting links to fun or interesting bike stories around the world. All the links will be SFW (unless noted) so make sure to click through to get all the tidbits the bike world has to offer.
First, what do you do when you're a nature lover, bike lover, and unemployed? How about ride 4000 miles to raise money for the Nature Conservancy? Nathan Winters is doing just that, and of course blogging, twittering and uploading to youtube along the way. (Via Cool Green Science)
Second, while Nathan's motives may be true, cockeyed.com took a slightly less altruistic approach to Google's "Chad Bikes America" trip back in 2001. The outcome is amusing (to say the least) and NSFW if your boss frowns on sporadic laughing fits.
Finally, Clean Technica has a gadget designed for those of us who can't live without our Iphone or crackberry. (My Iphone is currently sitting forlornly looking out the window hoping for even the merest signal. I'm not a fan of my Faraday Cage of an office.) The only drawback is it takes 2 hours to fully charge (if you call 2 hours on a bike a "drawback"). (Via Clean Technica)
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.
