Why do most of the fun things in Manchester seem to happen on bikes?:

We are a random group of cyclists who like to ride around in Platt Fields Park after a small football, occasionally whacking it through the other team’s goal and often crashing into each other or just falling over ourselves. We have ace punk polo fun.

Bicycle polo breaks out twice weekly - Wednesdays at 6pm and Saturdays at 2pm - on a pitch behind Platt Fields’ basketball courts. Check out these photos from Manchester Dropout’s game against the Oxford Supernova Society earlier this month.

If you’re interested, the team is holding an open practice this Friday, 27 April, at 7.30pm. It follows the monthly Critical Mass bike ride, which begins at Manchester Central Library at 6pm. For more information visit their Myspace or email info@ibikemcr.org.uk.
