Seattle Bike Polo




Yesterday while riding home from the Seattle Bike Expo, I stopped to watch a bit of bike polo at Judkins Park. The women and men playing have really good bike handling skills and it looked like they were having a lot of fun. According to a sign at the park, hard court bike polo was invented in Seattle.

    Check out some nighttime bike polo sometime, Little Rock style. You gotta get in the mix. http://www.arkansasoutside.com/you-might-need-a-helmet-sir/

    Maybe hardcourt, but bicycle polo in general has been around a long time. Here's a link to photos of bike polo in Los Angeles, in 1930, and I think I've heard it goes back farther than that in France.

    I think the Earl would be well suited for this. Your thoughts, Kent?

    Yeah, I think the Earl would be a great polo bike.
