Today's Globe Local Politics Opinion ... Local city games Bicycle polo: Go slowly, but carry big stick July 15, 2007 "I've done every type of bicycling there is," says James Norton as he picks up a makeshift mallet and gets ready to ride into a street hockey court. "Mountain biking. BMXing. Unicycling. I've been a bike messenger. I own a bike store. And this is the most fun of all of them, because it encompasses all of them." Norton smiles his jack-o'-lantern smile, revealing plenty of open real estate where his teeth used to be. "And payback is faster," he says. Closer to hockey than its equestrian namesake, bicycle polo has become the sport of choice for the city's bike messenger crowd, an urban gladiator game for the DLWW-tattoo set (i.e., Don't Let Work Win). "It's basically a bunch of dudes who get together and beat the [expletive] out of each other," says Scott Horrigan, a 21-year-old bike messenger who lives in Allston. "It's really just hockey on bikes; it can be rough." Here's how the game works: Three bicyclists line up at either end of the court, with a plastic street-hockey ball sitting alone at center court. Someone yells "Go!" and then it's a race for the ball. Using handmade mallets golf-club shafts jerry-rigged with a PVC pipe on the end or metal pipes with wooden blocks for a mallet head the players try to bat the ball between a pair of cones set up as goals. If a rider's foot touches the ground, he (most players are male) must ride back to center court and touch the boards with his mallet before he can resume play.

Aiken Takes 2008 Wendland Memorial Aiken, winners of the 2008 Wendland Memorial: Milton Carothers, Zachary Smith, Seth Kopald, Bill Matheson, and Eric Scmidt Welcome to the American Bicycle Polo Association of America What do you get when you combine the low-impact aerobic workout of cycling, the challenge of a racket sport, and the camaraderie of a team sport? Bicycle Polo! Polo is thought to be the oldest team sport known to man, dating from the days when Persian warriors first rode horses into battle. Bicycle polo evolved a bit later, having had to wait for some clever chap to invent the modern bicycle. Polo has long been known as "the king of games," but the money and skills required have greatly limited its popularity. Bicycle polo has a much broader appeal, since almost anyone can ride a bike, not to mention afford one. Anyone, male or female, aged nine to ninety, can play bicycle polo!

The other two are used as substitutes. International matches are played for a duration of 30 minutes divided into periods of 7.5 minutes each called as a chukkar . Extra time can be used to determine the winner in case the scores are tied at normal time. If a deliberate foul is committed at the vicinity of the goal, the team that is fouled is automatically given a goal. Less severe fouls are awarded 15 metre and 25 metre free hits. In the event of deliberate fouls or dangerous fouls, the umpire can issue the Yellow card (warning) and in case of repeated or severe fouls the Red card (ejection). The ejected player can be replaced by a substitute after the end of the current

A Synopsis) The Origin and Object of the Game The game of Bike Polo, if you haven't already figured out, is a variation of the equestrian game with a bicycle being substituted for the polo pony. Although not as glamorous as the equine variety, Bike Polo offers as much challenge and fun without the prohibitive price tag. The game's birthplace is believed to be India where, about a hundred years ago, British troops used bicycles to hone their equestrian polo skills. Like horse polo, the bicycle version is contested by two teams. The simple objective for each team is to score a greater number of goals than its opponent within a specified amount of time. Equipment All that is needed to play is a bike, an approved cycling helmet, a Bike Polo mallet, and a Bike Polo ball. For those who already own a bike and helmet, the investment is around $50. The Field A grassy area 100 x 60 yards constitutes the USBPA official field, but you can play on almost any size or surface depending on availability. Just remember, falls do happen and grass is softer than asphalt or dirt. Teams Each team can have only four riders participating at a time. The teams can be all male, all female or coed.

Home About Meet and Greet Contact ... Rough 'n Tumble Watching the wheels with bicycle polo Submitted by Ayesha Sitara on Thursday, 11 March 2010 No Comment Notice the clever use of wheel covers...in bicycle polo, you can never be too careful. Photo Credit: Ayesha Sitara I had to stop in my tracks when I heard, “Go Canada! Go Australia!” and find out where these screams were coming from. A large crowd was surrounding cyclists holding things that looked like a mix between hockey sticks and golf clubs. Curiosity got the better of me. On closer look, I even saw a ball being hit about. So was it some kind of bicycle golf or bicycle hockey? I found out that it was neither: it was actually a game of Bicycle Polo. Polo is, of course, typically played on horseback. Polo is signature royalty in India and being an ardent rider, I have had a go at it a few times. But, it was hard to resist the charismatic maharajahs who invited me to practice with them. I eventually got two dates! Will I get lucky with Bicycle Polo? A young man explained to me what Bicycle Polo was all about. The game comes from Ireland where it started in 1891. Although the traditional game is played on grass, the one I witnessed was played on hard court in Bishops Square, east of London. It is also known as “Urban Bike Polo” and is less formal than the traditional game. All players have to remain on court at all times of play and there are no substitutions.
