What a lovely couple of hours in Bethnal Green pre-Carnival this lunchtime. My first time at bike polo, I was really impressed with the skill of the riders, the spirit the games were played in and the fact that a good womens team could more than easily wipe the floor with a good male team. And the game itself is fantastic to watch, it would get my vote for an Olympic sport if I didn't think at lot of those participating would hate the very idea.
My highlight of day was watching the Germans on "bike soccer" bikes beat a team of their countrymen with a golden goal after a demonstration of the most graceful, artistic and awesome bike handling ive ever seen. The star of their team was the female member, it was like watching a lady Messi on a bike.
