Bike Polo was born in Oxford.

mr trout you get discounts at the shop as an OUCC member too![code][/code]

glow get in touch with the oxford cycle workshop (Alexis on the forum) they'll hook you up

Yes yes.

Come to OCW (http://www.ocw.org.uk) and we can build you a ratty fix for historic Oxford (or you can borrow one). I'm always lookin for people to ride with and I play polo with the bike nerds at brick lane many a Sunday.

my no. is 07926065479

safe cakes

Great pictures Agata.

We should have a whip round so we can get some printed, framed and possibly exhibited in some place like the ICA or Tate!

No really the art of bike polo must be given max. exposure. Then we get sponsorship and funding and other free stuff and we can quit our day jobs and go o tour in a luxurious bus.

Happy/sore Monday folks.

This is a nice way of sortin it out:

BTW: I like beards so I'm going to this http://www.handlebarclub.co.uk/wbmc.shtml

I admire the groups objectives:

*Objectives:

To promote good relationships between members of moustache and beard clubs throughout the world and to foster networks in the interests of friendship, conviviality and fun.

To encourage and celebrate standards of excellence in the growth, design and presentation of facial hair.

To raise the profile of beard and moustache clubs in order to attract new members and to bring to the general public a topic of interest and fun (put a smile on people’s faces).

To cover the costs of hosting the championships and to raise money for selected charity organizations,
such as The Rockinghorse Appeal The Rockinghorse Appeal and TacheBack.*

Awesome!

And I'm gonna visit a new bike workshop called 'Cranks' and hopefully meet the polo crew and get a game in on Sunday.

If it's hot I'm swimming too.

Anyone want to come?

The Purpulator Fixed Shopper?

Why it rules?

• you simply step throught the puny frame during crashes
  
• wheels less likely to break (smaller and protected by mudguard stays)
  
• baskets are useful for mallet and polo tucker (beer and bagels)
  
• strong as fuck
  
• heavy as fuck; opponents with sexy wheels give you a wide berth.
  
• not very nickable
  
• cheap as fuck
  
• much quicker than you'd think (gear is 38 14 ish)
  
• unisexy
  
• long wheelbase means thru bottom bracket play is pimps/easier
  
• comfy sprung saddle
  
  
  

runcible rakan The fixed shopper was hilarious - both to ride and watch people play on, everyone should have one ;)

....so who wants one? Actually theyr'e everywhere and in many skips all over the place. You can probably pick one up at Waltham Forest:

http://www.lbwf.gov.uk/index/transport/parking-roads/road-safety-home/rd-safety/cycling/cycling-recycle.htm

or if you fancy a trip to historic oxford come to the awesome OCW (we always have shoppers because we fucking love capitalism and shopping of course):

http://www.myspace.com/theoxfordcycleworkshop

Of course the hard bit is fixing them and the Purpulator has a normal freewheel hub with the sprocket wound on super tight with locktite (you won't be winning any skid comps on this). No...no lockring. tactical welding can help.

I'd be up for building some 20" wheels with flip-flop hubs so they can run fixed and ss. And I'd be up for teaching a group to build/fix if folk are interested?

A 5v5 fixed shopper match is going to happen (in time fors tha Film Festival tournament).

Imagine the freekin mirthathon we'll have.

So we need another nine building. Who is in?

Who's playin sunday?

POLO POLO POLO!

Sunday was fun, very nice to meet you all.

Ill try and get down at least once a month and bring other members of the Oxford Supernova Society (myspace.com/oxfordss)

If anyone wants to visit Oxfordia to play or get bits from the shop (myspace.com/theoxfordcycleworkshop) you have a place to stay.

Thanks for the hatz smeear! A pleausure doin business.

Lets start making the tournament happen in October for the film festival. In so far: Manchester Dropouts (myspace.com/mcrdropouts), us, you, Leeds? Brighton? Kent people? Posters, flyers, stickers, spoke cards, tees etc.

Ok good 1!

POLO POLO POLO!

giggle...titter!

vegansdontneedgears oh and did i mention that people should stop by the snow on friday 7ish... no real reason

Yes sir Ill get there at about 8. Ill be bearing mallets.

Smeear, Ill meet you Saturday AM for hat trading? That ok. Name a place? Pref not too near/before the prologue mallarky. And then you can show me where you lot play the game. Somewhere near Brick Lane ja?

TheBrick(Tommy) sorry I ment junction of bricklane and shacklewell street, but it is best to send them to the correct end

FYI we play on tarmac (Currys Car Park) and grass (South Park) in historic Oxford. I like both and use a fixed on the street and mtb in the park. Polo is truly sweet.

L8r chaps

Right we've had it playing with ourselves (not funny) and beating Manchester and being beaten by Kent (only because of their stoopid Speedway bikes and fancy mallets...and maybe experience) get on the Oxford tube and come and have a match with the mighty Oxford Supernova Society.

Bicyclogy will be here on 16th and 17th http://www.bicycology.org.uk/future_events/2007_summer_tour.htm
And there will be polo and it will be fun as it always is.

Ill be in LDN to ridicule the competitve geared people and get free stuff and hopefully buying a hat or 2 off of Smeear. On Saturday. Shall I bring my mallet ... anyone playing?
