If you are curious about bike polo, here is a recent interview we did for BikeLiker. There are links to some of the players in the tournament, as well as pictures and basic info about the game.

Attention! We've moved the champeenships! All your flyers should now show the new venue: Addams Park at 1301 W 14th St. Best highway exit is Roosevelt from 90/94. Ashland from 290.
We are planning on all grass play. It will be a lot easier and I swear that your track bikes with skinny tires will work fine cos we've been playing on them in grass for 5 years now. If people throw fits, threaten not to come, or try grass and hate it, there is a place a few blocks away where we can play on asphalt.
Please RSVP with how many teams you're bringing and how many nights you're staying so we can hook you up with couches.

How did it go? I was unable to attend, as my 5yo's soccer game was moved from 9am to 1pm....
