the Past?
(Posted Date: 09.30.2009)
There is talk in the bicycle industry
about killing off the 30+ year old QR Style release design system for
mountain bikes. Is this good, is this bad? In my opinion, this would be a

(Posted Date: 08.28.2009)
This past month an article written by the
Associated Press and published in the Boston Herald (and other papers

destroying the trails. We received several e-mails from local area riders
asking if the article was accurate and if new problems were developing. We
spoke to park management after reading the article and they assured us that
no relationship problems exist between themselves & mountain bikers in Lynn
Woods...

We need to give a huge shout-out to Mark
Hayes and his crew at Highland Mountain for creating a well balanced
mountain bike park that has something for all levels. Dieselbikes has been
riding Highland since it opened to the public and every year it gets bigger
and better! New beginner trails, additional jump lines, stunts, pumptracks -

Looking for Some Local Supporters!
(Posted Date: 07.01.2009)
Being born and raised in New England, I
have a great appreciation for this area of the country. Although its a
love/hate relationship, many of us realize at one time or another how much

It is our great pleasure to announce that

support the trail network. Despite the cold rain-soaked week, D-Day was
blessed with one day of perfect sunshine. Thanks to the weather we were able

Date: 01.06.2009)
2009 is here and we at
Dieselbikes will be stepping up our involvement by branching out into other
bike related projects within the community. We have a number of club
initiatives for this season and believe 2009 will be the year to get them
started.
First off, we have revised our
monthly newsletter! Due to the number of our growing subscribers; now over
500, we are expanding our newsletter to include new topics, enhanced
graphics and defining to the riding community what Dieselbikes is all about!
We want to provide YOU the reader with more valued information regarding the
trails we help maintain, projects we are working on and what’s going on with
the sport of mountain biking. Changes to our website are in the works and
our new line of active apparel will be out for the spring riding season.
We have starting our 5th year of
operation and its time we took this club to the next level. Be on the look
out for our growing presents and feel free to ride or trail work with us
anytime. We are just a group of mountain bikers that share a passion for
this sport…just like YOU!
