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 Contest OVER!

So today marks the end of our August Contest. 8/10 keys were returned and $40 in gift certificates were handed out. The bad news is that no one won the bike. We hid the winning key in "Gun Range" which is along one of the more technical portions of the Tom Brown bike path. One of the people who returned a key reported that the cache was "keyless" two weekends ago so i'm guessing someone picked it up and forgot about it. In case you're wondering, here's the complete list of where the keys were hidden (in no particular order).

1) Gun Range
2) Tweet Tweet
3) Goose Hunt
4) GovPark
5) Park-N-Grab
6) Guyte P. McCord Park
7) Days of the Week Cache - Wednesday
8) Times Up
9) Here Fishy Fishy
10) What's Behind Waverly
