Well, I played bike polo today, sort of, after a fashion, not really actually. We practiced and after awhile played teams but with no rules except foot down and no contact and right hand only mallets.

That's the most fun I've had on a bike for as long as I can remember, I was half convinced it was going to be silly, and it was but not stupid silly no fun to play, instead awesome silly amazingly fun to play. No one present had played before, so everyone started from zero, it really is a good test of bike handling. We didn't get to play on the rink as planned (there was no plan) and we ended up in the dog pit playing on hardpack and grass, great fun, the dogs loved it and took the ball on a regular basis, they did take one ball home too but someone had brought another. At one point there were 7 bikes on two teams, one team had a tandem with a dedicated driver and a mallet wielding stoker & the other had an extra player or something, it was quite the spectacle. We tried bike frisbee, but that didn't work as well as the bike polo

Next sunday is going to be a blast, it's totally a game you can play right off without too much acclimation. I'm tired
