East Side Polo Invite 4!

Written by Boston Biker on Apr 16

From Legit Bike Polo, this looks epic! Show up, there are a lot of very cool people putting this together, you will not be disappointed!

————-

Boston will be hosting the 4th annual East Side Polo Invite in Spring 2009. The ESPI’s will begin on Friday May 1st with final registration and pickup games. Tournament play will be held on May 2nd and 3rd.

HOUSING – Contact [email protected] and he’ll get you hooked up. Sooner the better!
Any other questions – [email protected]

We will be running two separate courts a couple miles apart the first day in a round robin fashion. The goal here is to get as many games as possible played in order to determine the 16 most worthy teams for Sunday’s single-court double elimination bracket. Unfortunately, many teams will get dropped after Saturday’s play. BRING A KILLER TEAM!!! That said, there will be a pickup court within sight of the tournament court.

Both tournament courts are street hockey style with tall wooden boards topped by cushy chain link fence. The main location has fenced in basketball courts for all day pickup games.

NOTE – Expect to play upwards of 5 tournament games on Saturday.

SCHEDULE

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.
