No I don't play but we have an bicycle polo association here in Ireland so if you ever make it here be sure and contact them. I think there's a difference between bike polo and bicycle polo. Isn't bike polo played on parking lots and such?

Ireland is the birthplace of bicycle polo.

Hardcourt bike polo is played mostly on roller hockey rinks, but also tennis courts or parking garages. It was developed in the paciffic northwest in the early 90s. Its popular in the states, england, and france especially. But growing very fast, but since the grass version is so popular in ireland hardcourt hasnt really caught on there.

Duuuude Bike Polo is thunderously awesome and fun. I play down here in Mobile Alabama, I'm surprised that to see that there aren't more polo players on this forum. Maybe they're all just lurking?
