If people want more info about bike polo check out Legit Bike Polo. It has videos from bike polo tournaments and you can order bike polo mallets.

There are TONS of bike polo videos online. Seems like a pretty strong subculture. Like Ultimate Frisbee or something.

Here's one from the New York Times.

A more amateur effort from the "3rd Bi-Annual Midwest Bike Polo Champeenship [sic]"

And a promo for bike polo in Humbolt Park? Nice.
