Polo has always been thought of as a princely game; but Bike Polo is a different beast all together. Open to anyone “that can ride a bike and see” according to Ines Brunn. The traditional is about riding around on horse back but in its current form it is far more versatile and far less restrictive on who can play. You don’t have to feed bikes and they don’t get tired.
The writer of the article gets the chance to see if they have what it takes to play bike polo. Slowly building up a bit of experience with the more experienced and seasoned profesionals the play style was understood. Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu have multiple teams set up but it wasn’t quite time for the writer to join one of them yet.
The 2014 Cool Search was underway with So Cool magazine and in the April 2014 edition Ines Brunn appears as a top pick! Dressed in Levi’s Commuter apparel she demonstrates her coolness by performing tricks and standing with her Natooke bicycle in Beijing along with these awesome pictures is a candid interview that can be read in more detail in the pages provided.
City Weekend, in its March 6-19 2014 edition, featured a piece on an urban biking initiative “Bike to JUE”, which took place during the JUE Music + Art events. The initiative was a collaborative effort by Split Works, NLGX, and Natooke with a simple premise: ride your bike to select JUE events, collect stamps and win prizes. It was a great little initiative to help promote preserving the environment and to reduce the stress of navigating the Dashilan’r hutongs!
In TimeOut Beijing, the February 2014 edition, there are a couple of great articles on learning to juggle and joining a cycle group. The articles make everything easy to become a part of something exciting. If you have a bike, and it doesn’t matter if its a “Fancy fixed gear or a clunky old cruiser”, Big Dirty is the group for you. TimeOut Beijing give a great insight to the groups past and present from its beginnings as a glorified pub crawl to now where each week in summer 50-60 riders get together to ride Beijing. These juants across the city are split into two groups – the fast group, and the slow group so no matter the skill level any rider can feel welcome.
The other great article is on learning to juggle, walking into the music venue of Yugong Yuishan the writer for TimeOut Beijing was confronted with quite the circus; jugglers tossing balls high in the air, weights tethered to ropes swinging past their face and unicyclists teetering on the brink of disaster. But this wasn’t so much a circus as it was amateur after-work performers who gather every week to develop their acrobatic skills.You can join them and learn how to juggle in no-time at all! The group meets every monday at 8pm and to sign up all you need to do is email juggling@natooke.com
