Welcome


Welcome to the new and better-than-ever home of the Mt. Washington Bicycle Polo Association. We play pickup bike polo every Sunday afternoon. During the summer months we play at 4 PM at the University of Baltimore Fields at 2101 West Rogers Avenue. You can see the map in our "Links" section to your right. Once daylight savings kicks in, we shift to 3PM.

Any changes or cancellations will be posted here.

I have also posted links to the rules. Yes, there are rules. The rules are what make this a safe game, most notably the Right of Way Rule that has a link of its very own. It's that important. The rule basically says that the direction of the ball creates a line that cannot be crossed. This keeps players from cutting each other off and t-boning each other. That having been said, this game is not exactly 100% safe. We have been playing for many years and have had a broken collarbone and a number of cuts and bruises. I like to point out that we play on nice soft grass. And there are no cars out there trying to kill us. So "safe" depends on your point of reference.

I will be updating this blog with new pictures and even hope to get some video posted soon. In the meantime, please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or would like to get out there and play.
