Monday, April 25th, 2011Santa is a Biker
Wednesday, December 15th, 2010On last friday, we found some wood to close the Secret Polo Court. Just after that, Antoine came with real (handmade) polo goals… Little by little, we’re getting Pro.
On next friday (December the 17th), Santa will visit Vainqueur Bicycles, on Place Flagey.
Mulled wine, christmas music and photo shooting with Santa! Just after that, around 11PM, we should leave the shop and go play Polo at Secret Place.
The guys from Lille should be part of it: join us aswell !

It’s all fun and game until someone loses an eye
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010Sorry lads, this post will not be that funny, but we HAVE to talk a bit about security…
Playing polo isn’t something easy, and falling during the game happens, most of the time without any consequences: it hurts but it’s OK, you like pain (don’t you?) and you’re quickly back in the game.

But sometimes, it can go wrong, and this is specially sad when an accident could be avoided.
A rider from Brussels in the “Velo” book
Thursday, May 13th, 2010
Le week-end dernier, j’ai trouvé le livre “Velo”, qui donne un large aperçu de cette culture qui nous uni, avec des portraits de coursiers, des illustrations, photos vintage et actuelles, une visite chez un cadreur ou un designer, quelques pages sur les Alley Cat, ces courses à check-point…
Last week-end, I found the book “Velo”, wich gives a large view on that culture we make and love. Inside of it, bike-messenger portraits, illustrations, vintage pictures, Alley Cat races photographies…
Et puis, page 85, une silhouette familière
… and at p.85, I recognized someone !
Hey, Kardama !
Press, magazines, TV, now books… What media haven’t the Brussels riders touched yet?

Guestbook – Hello from Sweden
Monday, May 10th, 2010Michael, from the swedish Komet Club Rouleur has sent a really nice mail I wanted to share:
Hello Brusselsbikepolo
Just a quick hello and thanks to all the players from sunday from the swedish guy who played a short round – great crowd and fantastic that I could borrow a bike. I would have loved to stay longer, but had to go. Next time…
If any of you visit Gothenburg, don’t hesitate to contact me for cykelpolo, some urban cyling or just a drink.
(…)
/Michael
Thank you Michael: if someday we plan to visit Sweden (maybe to see the Ronde van Retaard or to do the Svart Katt Alleycat) for sure we’ll recontact you !
Here some pics from the Swedish team, stolen on your blog ;) Seems pretty cool !
Have a good ride !
