I understand that Bicycle Polo is an activity involving bicycles that is also not Cycling.
Although I have no interest in either activities: their rules, culture or equipment may they have a rollicking good time at it.
When current fads fade away serious club cyclists and devotees of obsolete kit will carry on as they always have, a minority of road riders committed to FG on machines not fundamentally different than the 1930's RRA in the pic.
The 50+ demographic of this sub-forum may be it's strongest bastion.

One of my favourite bicycles and a fixed gear to boot... a 1955 Raleigh Lenton "Reg Harris Road model".
The kids tell me I should ditch the cottered (track) crank and those stainless Dunlop wheels to lighten it up.
