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.

September 18th Chain Links


Sometimes you just gotta take a massive link dump. It hurts while doing it but in the end you feel fantastic. Here's six links I liked including Rice being stupid and perhaps the most awesome link I've ever posted.


First: Welcome to LA, where cars rule the streets and the bicycle resistance is underground.

Second: Use your bicycle Jimmy! You know there are kids in the third world who don't have bicycles.

Third: Rice goes stupid... I mean green. Few! Glad that mistake wasn't in the byline!

Fourth: If Speed Racer owned a bike...

Fifth: Silly old man, hats are for kids!

Finally: Cue the 80's movie flashback in 3... 2... 1..!


Final Note: Someone needs to explain to the britts that R2D2 was a trashbin and C3PO was the antroform robot. It's sad when someone can make Rice look smart.
