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 19th Chain Links


Keeping with our long running theme of complete discontinuity today I present you with three stories that have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER. A bicycle built for 7, a cyber stalker, and an indie film festival are all found below. Enjoy!

First: You've heard the classic term "a bicycle built for two" but how about "a bicycle built for 7?" Called a conference bike, this three wheeled, 7 seater not only looks big, it will also carry a load of over 1400 lbs! For reference, that's .63 metric tons or more than most compact cars can handle. That's good, because it's price tag of $12,750 is more than a lot of compacts too.





Second: I wish I had known about the Bicycle Film Festival when i was living in NY and was close enough to go see it. However, as I'm now in Florida (shucks) I'll have to settle for the shorts of some of the films on YouTube.





Finally: Facebook stalking is not a crime (well, sometimes), especially when it thwarts a would be bike thief from getting away with his crime. Internet savvy mothers take note, you too can be Nancy Drew... on Facebook!
