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 4th Chain Links


Today's links are from all over the globe and all over the map. From stolen bikes in China, to very chilly running, to a house with no impact, today's links make of the hodge podge of life on our planet. Mostly the quirky kind.


First: If you're riding a bike in Beijing that retails for less than about $70, then it's almost certainly stolen. Could be worse. One guy in the article tried to get clever with the thieves and got his bike taken from him in a different way. Cheeky bastards.


Second: While this has nothing to do with bikes, it has everything do do with sustainability. Make sure to check out the gallery and maybe you'll find some cool ideas. I know I did. Perhaps I should suggest the image above for his next project?


Finally: I joke about bike porn. If there's a photo gallery of this event then this sh*t just got real.
