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.

August 18th Chain Links


Today we meander from the comfy confines of the environmentalist's approach to bike commuting, to strange state laws, to just plain free stuff. I promised to give you links, not be coherent about it.


First: Sometimes environmentalists get it wrong (I'm looking at you green peace) and sometimes they get it right. My favorite environmental blog, Cool Green Science, has a post up this morning about commuting to work. The author hits all the important parts but saves the helmet till the end!


Second: States make funny laws. Generally they're only known about to a handful of people responsible for enforcing them, but this one from Wisconsin seems important to know for every driver and biker alike.


Finally: Looking for a new bike? Have no cash? Well, you've got better than a 1/1,000,000,000 chance of winning a brand new cyclocross bike from Redline. All you have to do is enter!
