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 28th Chain Links

Time for some good news bad news from the webosphere. With every bit of bad news there's always a silver lining. Don't ask me where it is cuz I can't find it most of the time. These links just happened to relate like that.


First: The bad news, if you live in LA your bike is twice as likely to be stolen this year over last. The good news, since bikes are more at risk you can pull off double parking like this guy.


Second: The bad news, if you live in STL and ride in spandex this a**hole is out for blood. The good news, you can avoid his rage by riding electric and foregoing the spandex.


Finally: The bad news, if you don't live in NY you might not get to see this. The good news, if you DO live in NY you can see it! Lucky bastards.
