New guy in the area

Hey guys !

I am new on the forum and just wanted to introduce myself.
Moved to leicester a few years ago from Karlsruhe, Germany.

My mates from Bike Polo Karlsruhe introduced me to fixed gear
bikes and i must say i love it.

I wanted to ask if there are any people living close to leicester to ride
a few miles around the midlands with, or even take the train to somewhere
else and go on a tour with a few beers ?

welcome
most people are from london on the forum but maybe set up a leicester fgss group and see who joins !
if you are ever in london there are regular drinks every night and lots of social events so there should be something to do if you are ever in town

welcome migi !

hi dicki !

in fact i will be in london this weekend !!
as will be a few guys from karlsruhe for the bike polo event on saturday !

see you maybe there ? i am the Cuban looking guy hanging out with a bunch of germans :)

Thought i post in the birmingham forum as it is the closest to me a quick train ride and i can join any activity over there

Hi migi,
Birmingham will be playing in the polo this weekend.
So if you want to meet up with some 'local' people come find our team, 'Anne Frankenstein' .

Hey !!

I totally missed all games of Anne Frankenstein, as i had no idea when ond who was playing.
only heard you guys needed 2 extra players on sunday.

I am planning on going to birmingham in 1-2 weekends. any polo going on then ? if yes, anyone got an extra mallet ? btw, up till now i was only a professional bike polo spectator.

Hey xFritzx, cool ! ich komm auf jedenfall nach birmingham um mal ein paar runden polo zu spielen bin ja auch noch ein totaler anfaenger. ich schick dir mal per PM meine mobile nummer.

We play every Wednesday at 630 at Calthorpe park (weather permitting).

BUT... maybe some people could come over to leicester to meet you?
This event is going on -> https://new.britishcycling.org.uk/skyride/leicester

Sure thing ! i can accommodate a few guys just moved into a new place which is but just 30 seconds from where this picture has been made !!

so if you guys feel like coming over and need a place to sleep let me know !

wednesday is kinda stressy considering i gotta get from leicester to birmingham, how long do you guys usually play and would you have a spare mallet ?

Hey, I'm also from Leicester.. Only seen a handful of fixed bikes in 3 years here :/
