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.

October 1st Chain Links


Welcome to October! To celebrate here's 6 links to bicycle news stories we at the GBP found "interesting." Feel free to interpret interesting however you like but bike theft and recovery in Dublin, No need for bells in Tampa, Counting bikes in the NW, Making money in Missouri, and a crazy guy in LA topped my list of interesting today.


First: We linked to a story a few weeks back about Dublin having bike rentals and them not being stolen. Woops, guess reality caught up with them. Then reality caught up with the thieves.


Second: Ding dong the bell law is dead! (See what I did there, I'm so clever! Please, no more rotten tomatoes.)


Third: One bicycle, two bicycle, cow drinking coffee, three bicycle... all in a day's work for WA DOT.


Fourth: The economist in me says "W00t!" for this result but the environmentalist in me says "why not invest the $1.5 mil and buy 7,500 $200 bikes for residents?"


Finally: At least he's not wearing a grape smuggler.
