Bike, mallets and a ball: Bike Polo is good time
September 2nd, 2010
by: Susan Jurgelski
Six mallet-wielding cyclists square off three-on-three, ready to go wheel-to-wheel on a sun-baked city tennis court.
There’s an anticipatory tension as thick as the sultry, summer evening humidity and the hypnotic hum of cicadas.
These bicyclists are geared up.
When a red rubber ball [...]

Thanks to everyone who let me get a photo. Very laid back, just shots of anyone with a polo shirt on. I think it shows the mood of the event. Thank you Berlin!

The Ladies of NYC Bike Polo
July 21st 2010
By Emily Anne Epstein
What do you get when women, homemade mallets, beat-up bicycles and a ball collide? Bike polo, of course!

*cough cough*Those boys may be looking for sponsoships…wearing their brands proud.
Not me, I’m rockin’ a handmade hat that a messenger in Pittsburgh made and a polo lady traded me for a Swobo cap.
We had such a blast with you NYC and Troy Boys. We were operating on very, very little sleep that day so please excuse our sheepish behavior. We will return someday and we will be more on our game; well rested, trained and tapered, and ready to rock!
