Polo Rules

I'm being asked if radball bikes will be allowed at the LO? The bars above will either be facing forward or backward (depending on the move the player has just done, bar spins!)

What are people's thoughts? How were they in Germany?

It would make for a few tricky referee decisions regarding steering arm/handlebar infractions (if we go down that route) and the bar shape looks more dangerous to me than conventional flat (or riser) bars?

They are obviously deemed safe for Radball, but bike polo is a more physical (and faster) game in my opinion?

Any info/experience would be greatly appreciated.

I will say, allow them.

this people are way more skill with this bikes than us with ours.
they take less speed as they have a close 1:1 ratio
their center of mass (I think is teh right term) is way lower so they have better balance on the bike

at the german champs they were just footing down, I dont remember any of them been involve in a crash

and if you think about it this handlerbar is safer that flats or riser, if someone falls on them, their is not danger of getting them in your guts
