Bike Polo

I've been thinking about, and wanting to play, bike polo ever since my friend Jared started playing in Sarasota. Everytime I talk to him, he tells me how amazing it is.
There is no reason why I have not done this before, other than ignorance of this sport. I like bikes and playing sports with my friends!
So I've been investigating this further, spurred on by my and Jeremy's resolution that we will try to play next summer. Here is what I have found, and if this doesn't make you want to start playing, I don't know what will.
Apparently it's already pretty big in Ottawa. Who knew?! In fact, 3 Ottawa guys won the 2008 North American Bike Polo Championships.
I gotta catch up!
The Hardcourt Bike Polo blog is awesome, and displays some of these fine photos:
