^^ rothers I guess you'll know Viv - she's a wheeler / triathlete / fell runner?

aye...

Hello ...

Mostly to be seen on morning/evening commute to work between Chorlton and Quay Street. On a Langster at the moment. But looking around for a new SS and that's why I've ended up in this here forum.

Howdy.
Why not try that Langster out at polo? Give a new lease of life.

Hmm, not sure about that. You got a team/s in Manchester then? I'm imagining a kind of Fast Show-esque scenario in which a dozen people (on bikes) all chase the same ball. Surely that can only result in ... crash.

Well, 6 people at a time, there is the occasional crash but generally you get good at it and you ain't going too fast anyway. Come down and watch and have a beer with us, we're all quite nice really. At worst you can watch us all fall off.
We play Thursday nights and Sundays here, check the polo thread for details.

Not far from me, might have a mooch past time and see what's going on. Cheers.

You get real good real quick if you practise enough - Snotty's a total legend at crashing! Though the fishy one is looking to reign supreme pretty soon - Rob's great at parkour-rolling but I haven't seen him in a full inversion still clipped in... Skyride just got real!

See you Thursday at 6.30pm!

Hi new manchester rider here, peen pushing a geared towards wythenshawe or Salford from withington for a while and now finally looking to move fixed thanks to some insurance dollar from a silly driver mowing me down on Oxford rd!

by taxi right ?

Good guess, first one was a taxi doing an unindicated u turn on palatine; this one was a rude boy driving into the back of me - bike somehow survived but cheeky broken wrist

(as Snotty is playing away):

Bring it to polo!

Along with his broken wrist?

I tell you Mcr Polo will be Mcr UniHockey at the rate we're all breaking things

Snotty's a total legend at crashing!

And Salman

Yeah, polo, do it!

Hello there! I'm Becky, i'm 20 and i live in Withington. You've probably seen me riding this to uni or falling off it a lot at Platts Fields park: http://i51.tinypic.com/6ohhj4.jpg

Currently soaking up information in anticipation for building my first single speed and this seemed like a cool forum, so i joined! :)

build a polo bike, then come and play polo.

Edit: you can also play polo before building a polo bike.

BMX polo is the new thing Salman you missed out.

Also Hello.

Armchair polo is the new thing Salman you missed out..

ftfy

There's not much to miss out on with armchair polo.

How's the wrist?

+1 on polo, we'll help you build things too.

Polo does sound awesome!

It is, it very much is, we had a 1st timer today who was converted after 1 game, and he spent half his games on a BMX.
