Bike Sports

[Klaus]

I still read my local paper from Germany and note there are regular reports on the sport of "Radball" - Bike(foot)ball ??
See below picture from a couple of days ago.
How popular is this here? Anyone on the forum doing this? Just out of interest.

'Radius' of this parish talks of sawn-off handlebars and other rad things (when he's not translating ancient German manuscripts etc). He knows all the best pitches for Polo in Londres and is a super hip dude.

I don't understand the previous post, but I would love to have a go at bike polo or radball!

I tried bike polo in New York last year... damned hard game! Was fun though, and I'd like to give it another shot

It seems that there are quite a few sports clubs which have sections for "Radball" and there are the usual league tournaments etc. All organised in the usual German fashion. I come from a rural area where there's not much going on so the local clubs (Vereine) are providing plenty of activities, especially for younger people.

There is a big 'bike polo' scene in Manchester. That's where most of the 'junk' fixies end up...on the battlefield........
