What is Bike Polo?
Hardcourt bike polo is played three-a-side on a hard-surfaced court (roughly the size of a tennis court) between low boards. Players ride single-speed or fixed-gear bikes and use a long mallet to strike a small ball into the opposing goal. If a player's foot touches the ground they must "tap out" at the sidewall before rejoining play.
