History
An Irishman, Richard J. McCready, invented Bicycle Polo in 1891. A retired cyclist, he was editor and owner of  The Irish Cyclist , a cycling magazine. The first game was played in County Wicklow between Rathclaren Rovers and Ohne Hast Cycling Club (German for ‘without rushing’), on the 4th October 1891. On October 31st that same year, his magazine published the first rules of the sport. The Bicycle Polo Association of Great Britain then published there own rules in The Morning Post on the 10th of September 1898 which were later adopted by the BPAI. ( Click here to view an original document of these rules The first international was played in Crystal Palace, London between Ireland and England in 1901. Ireland defeated England 10–5. At the London Olympics in 1908 Bicycle Polo acted as a demonstration sport, an Irish Selection of LR Oswald-Sealy, HE Oswald, AS Oswald – (all of Rathclaren Rovers) and Richard McCready jr (Ohne Hast C.C.) defeated German club Deutscher Radfahrer Bund 3–1 at Shepherds Bush, London.

Bike polo is making a comeback thanks to the surge in single speed and fixed gear bike popularity, start a leauge in your city.
http://www.bigshotbikes.com/bicycle-polo.html

Bicycle polo is the cycling version of the ancient game of polo which is played on ponies. It is believed to have been invented by British soldiers serving in colonial India who wanted to improve their polo skills. Bicycle polo has even featured as a demonstration sport in the Olympics in London in 1908. It is played to this day in many countries around the world, such as Argentina, India, Britain and the United States, and there is also an International Bicycle Polo Championships held every year with the USA and Canada both having won twice.
Although a US Bicycle Polo standard field is similar to a football field, i.e. 100 yards by 60 yards, bicycle polo can be played anywhere that you have room. “Hard court” bicycle polo has grown in popularity in recent years, and can be played on tennis courts, urban street hockey rinks, or anywhere with sufficient room. When you are choosing where to play, bear in mind that grass is softer than concrete, and playing bicycle polo often involves a fall or two!
The equipment is also very simple: all you need is a bicycle, a polo stick or “mallet”, a helmet (that meets the correct safety standards) and a ball. The object of the game is simply to score more goals than the opposition. There are 4 players in each team and the game is usually split up into 4 quarters, known as “chukkars” of 10 minutes each with 2 minutes between each chukkar and a 10 minute break at half time. If you would like to know more, or get involved in a game of bicycle polo, check out your local bicycle clubs, colleges, schools, recreation centers, or look for a local pick-up game.

Helmets for Bicycle Polo
Summary: We recommend multi-impact bicycle helmets for bike polo. See our page on dual-certified helmets for a list.
Bicycle polo was reportedly invented in 1891 by Richard J. Mecredy, an Irishman. The sport is also known as bike polo, cycle polo, and even bicycle hockey. Since bicycle polo is characterized by quite a few spills as the riders race after the ball, a helmet for the sport should be multi-impact. The typical single-crash bike helmet made with crushable EPS foam must be replaced after every hard hit, so it would not last long in a cycle polo environment. You can use a bike helmet and it will protect you, but you may have to discard it after one or a few games. When helmets sell for $7.14 at Wal-Mart or Target that may not bother you at all. If you go that way, be sure to look at our page on when to replace your helmet When cycle polo is played on grass, the surface is considerably more resilient than pavement. Pavement does not giveeven the slightest fraction of an inchand the energy spike to the brain generated by an impact is very very intense. On a graph it looks like a spike. On grass the spike becomes more of a bell curve, with a much less intense peak. For that reason cycle polo might be played in a skateboard helmet. But riding to and from the field, usually in the same helmet, the rider is on pavement. And some bicycle polo is played on hard surfaces, a type known as bicycle hockey in the bike messenger subculture. It is rougher than normal bicycle polo. So a skateboard helmet would not have the energy management capabilities needed.

Michael J. Rosen "If No One Stays Back, at, or Near the Goal, Your Opponent Will Fast Break You to Death Until Your Lungs Collapse and Your Long-Term Health Is Brought Into Question." - from the U.S. Bicycle Polo Association "basic strategies" "Welcome to the American Bicycle Polo Association of America," the Web site greets you. "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 While players have a welcoming attitude and a penchant for answering their own riddles before providing time for others to guess, they also maintain strict rules and employ some remarkable strategies. For instance, "All players must play right-handed," and, according to the rules, may only strike at a ball "when the frame of the rider's bike has been parallel to the sideline for at least 21 feet (three bike lengths)." This ensures a "right of way" rule, which seeks to eliminate collisions, injuries, or anything else people look forward to in NASCAR. First played in the late 19th century by British troops in India, bike polo has seen the game go from its first international competition game in 1901 (an Irish win over the British), to the International Bicycle Polo Federation in 1996, to an annual World Championship. Having established its popularity in Europe, bike polo now reaches as far east as Sri Lanka and Malaysia and as far west as the United States.

39. About The Boxwood Bicycle Polo Company
The Boxwood Bicycle Polo Company was founded in 1994 by Lou Lopez and Bill Matheson, two members of the legendary Boxwood Bicycle Polo Team, which went undefeated in 4on-4
http://boxwoodbicyclepolo.com/bbpchist.html
About the Boxwood Bicycle Polo Company The Boxwood Bicycle Polo Company was founded in 1994 by Lou Lopez and Bill Matheson, two members of the legendary Boxwood Bicycle Polo Team, which went undefeated in 4-on-4 competition from 1972 through 1981, at which point they went their separate ways. That's Matheson and Lopez at the far right in the picture below, after Boxwood's victory in the 1972 Cartier Challenge Cup in Southhampton, NY. Their other teammates were Charlie Bostwick (#5), Peter Mulligan (#4), and the late Jan Wendland (#2). The Cartier Challenge Cup was played from 1971-74, at which point the beautiful silver and gold trophy with the wooden base disappeared. There have been several sightings reported at the Racquet Club in New York City, but repeated efforts to recover the trophy have come to naught.
Since 1994, the Boxwood Bicycle Polo Company has been dedicated to providing quality bike polo equipment at very reasonable prices, in order to promote the growth of the sport. We have also sponsored teams in international competition and tournaments here in the U.S. In the next couple of years we hope to increase our involvement in tournament sponsorship throughout North America, visiting the various groups that participate in our wonderful sport.
In a 30th reunion of sorts, Bill Matheson and Lou Lopez teamed with Lopez's two sons, LJ (left) and Mat (right) to win the tournament named for their late teammate, Jan E. Wendland. The tournament was played at University of Virginia's Madison Bowl; Lopez is currently the manager of the University of Virginia Polo Center and coach of their intercollegiate polo teams.
