Why don't you play polo?

i enjoy participating in most sports.. i would 'have a go' at bike polo.. there you see, no excuses really, maybe put a novice team together, i can't track stand or do any clever tricks.. so next step.. get me a mallet, make a fool of my self, have a giggle.. drinks and socialising would be compulsory though. say once a week.

do we need to be in a league or worry about what anyone else thinks?

don't have to be in the league, there are throw-ins most days of the week somewere in Ldn (throw-in means anyone welcome, teams randomly chosen).

don't have to trackstand*, you can rest your mallet on the ground so you have 3 points of contact with ground, it's as easy to balance as if you had one foot on the ground and no mallet! and most people play freelwheel anyway

*but trackstanding is very easy. have you actually tried?
