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 28th Chain Links


So today's barrage of work has been less than usual and interesting bike links have been piling up all day. Here's a quick rundown of five most spectacular. If this were Jeopardy and the category was "Bikes and related awesomeness" the questions would be a Bicycle Band from this Country for 200, a Careless Driver causes this % of Deaths for 400, a City with a Late Night Ride for 600, a City with a New Stoplight Actuator for 800, and a Man with a Awesome Bike Collection for 1000. I expect $3000 by the end of the category and you should too if you read the links.


First: Make way for the greatest band on two wheels! Careful not to trip over the accents.

Second: Blame not the bicycle nor the rider, blame the idiot driving the car. To ride a bike you need to be a little bit more aware than if you were driving a car.

Third: We need one in T-Classy. Anyone up for a midnight ride? No? How about 8:04pm?

Fourth: I wish big brother bought me one of these for my stimulus day. :(

Finally: I want to be this guy when I grow up... If I grow up...

Are you sure that you wouldn't rather be Richard Irby when you grow up? http://www.tampabay.com/video/?bcpid=2441023001&bctid=29887079001
