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.

Bikes in the shop

Sneek preview of coming attractions! We got a HUGE donation of BMX bikes last week. While we haven't had a chance to play with them yet, we will be doing so Wednesday during some special work hours. Justin and I will be rearranging things a bit and hopefully getting a few of them ready to ride. Here's a rundown of the bikes in the shop off the top of my head.

1) Trek 7500 hybrid
2) Fuji touring bike (RB)
3) Panisonic RB
4) Hoop D (Classic reproduction)
5) Raleigh Women's Hybrid
6) Raleigh MTB
7) Jamis MTB
8) About 10 Schwinn BMX bikes
9) Laser tandem Bike
10) No-Brand tandem road bike
11) Mongoose Dual Shock MTB

Depending on how ready the BMX bikes are, we may be able to price them as low as $30!!! Yay for donations!
