Bike polo is certainly alive and thriving since it burst on the Austin scene a few years ago. The Austin Texas Bike Polo Social Club puts on weekly matches, has produced several tournaments, and even was the focus of a slick, Dell Lounge video. ATBPSC has upped the ante and will be hosting Ladies Army [...]

The Austin Texas Bike Polo Social Club is celebrating their one year anniversary this weekend with a two day, three match weekend of bike polo. While wide spread bike polo is a relatively new part of current bike culture, it actually is a sport that is 100 years old and was very popular in the [...]

My apologies for getting the calendar out late this week. I woke quite under the weather and am finally drugged enough to get some work done. This week is a little lighter on events after last week’s marathon Saturday. Still, there are plenty of great rides on our Google cycling events calendar. Here’s a quick [...]

Still no Radball, but our friends at ATXBPSC have added another bike polo match, this time at midnight to avoid the 1 millionth day of 100+ degree heat. Midnight Guerrilla Bike Polo Tuesday, August 25 Midnight Meet at Capitol grounds

Here’s a [...]

This event got missed on the weekly round up of Austin Bike Culture Events, and how could it? Sexy Sunday, a fixed gear trick session, and Bike Polo, which Marcus wrote about recently, are two popular weekly occurrences on Sundays so it only makes sense that they would eventually join forces for good. So stop [...]

I finally got a chance to go see hard court bike polo this weekend! Week after week Elliott and I have been putting this on our list of “must see” cycling events around town but this is the first time it has worked out. Riding up to Eastwoods Park in the worst headwind since Thursday [...]

This didn’t make it in time for the weekly calendar of Austin Bike Culture Events, but that’s OK ’cause it deserves its own post. I just saw over at ATXBS that the guys who’ve been putting together occational bike polo matches have gone legit (well, as legit as bike polo gets) and formed an Austin [...]
