Chicago Bike Polo’s ‘Machine Politics’ finishes 2nd in the world. Read about it here. And look over to the left to see who helped us get to Berlin this year. Many thanks go out specifically to Lawyer Jim Freeman and Lucky Bastards.
Chicago Hardcourt Bike Polo began almost three years ago, built on a foundation of grass polo and a trip to NYC. We moved around inside the parks system before finally finding a home on a set of decommissioned tennis courts in Garfield Park on Chicago’s west side.
Pick-up happens twice a week, Wednesdays at 6:30pm and Sundays at 2:30pm. We stop when we’re spent. IMPORTANT: We travel from time to time, especially during the summer. Check our calendar just to be sure we’re in town.
