Bike Polo
The game of Bike Polo, if you haven’t already figured out, is a variation of the equestrian game with a bicycle being substituted for the polo pony. Although not as glamorous as the equine variety, Bike Polo offers as much challenge and fun without the prohibitive price tag. The game’s birthplace is believed to be India where, about a hundred years ago, British troops used bicycles to hone their equestrian polo skills.
Like horse polo, the bicycle version is contested by two teams. The simple objective for each team is to score a greater number of goals than its opponent within a specified amount of time.
