Double Drive Bike Polo Bike

Written by Boston Biker on Aug 07

So what do you do if you want a low geared drive train for bike polo (with a free wheel) but you want a larger geared drive train (fixed) to get to the game. Well you could buy two bike and strap one to your back, but if you are Gus you build yourself a double drive train bike with two sets of cog/free wheel and double chain rings. This thing is pretty freaking sweet.

More info here.

Here is what Gus Has to say.

This bike was thrown together primarily as an experiment to see if it was possible, much because I had all of the parts sitting around. It is not without purpose however, since a 4 mile ride to the Allston (Boston) polo court on a 34-18 gear ratio leaves something to be desired. This bike will make it possible to ride a street gear to the court and then play on polo gearing after a quick switch of chains.

    Gee, I’ve got a similar setup on my bike, allows me a much larger selection of gears… it’s called a DERAILLEUR.

    Hi Chris: Do you play polo on this bike? Also I think this project was done more because it could be done, not because other solutions didn’t exist.
