Michi loves his braking system he uses for his freewheel polo bike. We just forgot about he’d got pitched having mistaken the front brake lever for the rear one!

WHBPC 2011 in Seattle!!!
The league of bike polo announced on Wednesday that Seattle is hosting the WHBPC in September 2011. Congrats! We are thrilled!
Just to put you in the right mood, one of their home courts:
Außenansicht Bikepolo, VI.
“Resembling a tribe of urban Robin Hoods, the merry band gets down to business. Somewhere far away on a green expanse of real estate, bike polo’s pony-based predecessor is no doubt carrying on its traditions among pricey horseflesh, full-time grooms and magnums of Champagne. Here, however, the satisfying sound of ball against plastic is followed by a ‘ping’ as the projectile finds a chain-link fence. There are high-speed chases and instant emergency stops, crashing, weaving, scraping and scrapping as the quarry wiggles free. Occasionally the ball becomes airborne before being tamed again by the pack of hungry cyclists, circling like piranhas in a rough sea of grey tower blocks and crumbling concrete. They sail around smoothly before one casually, but decisively, puts the little orb between the traffic cones.”
Die fast philosophische Deutung stammt aus einem Artikel des Huckmagazine.
Not trashy at all!
Trash Messenger Bags, a small company in Minneapolis, polished their website recently. Check it out and have a look at their gallery of custom-made bags.
Angie´s very happy with her Wastebasket pouch, it carries everything a messengerette needs.
And here´s our friend Doug with his custom-made “Douglife” Trash Bag. Awesome!
