What happens when bikes and polo mix? The Gainesville All Stars have the answer.
By Catalina Frias | Aug. 30The Gainesville All-Stars, a bike polo team, welcome all to their two-wheeled group. Bike polo is similar to the traditional field sport of polo, but players ride bikes instead of horses as they use mallets to push balls into the opposing team’s goal. Gainesville jumped on the hype in 2009, and about 10 members now gather weekly at a Gainesville park to play until the lamp posts go out.
