One of the most fun and unusual ways you can use a bicycle is to play bike polo. The rules are simple and you don't need any expensive equipment to play. People are happy to lend mallets and even bikes to new people.

If you want to have a go come down to one of our weekly practices and we'll lend you a mallet. All you need is a bike that you're not too worried about getting knocked about a bit.

 You can find out more at the Birmingham Bike Polo blog or the Birmingham polo section of the 'London Fixed gear Single Speed' forum here (skip to the last page).
