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 25th Chain Links


You all know how much I like a running theme. Today's theme is "Bicycle Safety" or "How not to be an idiot on a bike". Three stories from the depths of the interwebs on everything from helmets, to wrong way riders, to getting your bike free upgrades!


First: You should always ride a bike with a helmet. Always. In fact, if you don't ride with a helmet I probably won't ride a bike with you. Be warned.


Second: There are times when riding the wrong way, on sidewalks, or with a shotgun is a good idea. The examiner looks at two of these times and unfortunately ignores the third. Honestly, I'm still looking for a reason to do the third. Ideas?


Finally: I should send this article to all my friends and family just to prove that keeping receipts is a worthwhile endeavor. Hey, it may get you a free bike upgrade!
