Couldn't see the video where I am today. According to wikipedia, cycle polo was invented in Ireland in 1891.

Hi Amir,
the cycle polo played most often nowadays is very different to the original game played in Ireland. Modern polo is played on hardcourts and is quite a lot more physical. It's good fun
We've been playing around 3 yearsin Edinburgh and have witnessed it absolutely explode in this country.
We're having a knockabout tonight if you're interested.

Thanks Chdot. Tonight is just a relaxed knockaround, nothing too strenuous.
p.s where'd that photo on the morningside blog come from? Not seen that one before.

It was 'private' on my Flickr stream.
Needed a tight crop too.

I might well toddle along for a gander, although I will take the precaution of riding the iron horse in case I get any silly ideas.

*Big grin* If you can imagine a walrus being effortlessly outmanoeuvred by some penguins, but enjoying itself hugely anyway, that was me.
Some ingenious bodging to polofy their bikes, and a lovely bunch they are.

Was nice to have you along. You should come again, we should be back to normal numbers this week (when the hordes of cycletourers come home)

Forgot these three picturas:
The hallmark of a CCE rider/ride is the digital camera spam and steel bicycle. The top one here was taken by Dave and scrubbed up nicely with some gamma/saturation fiddling.
