About me:

see photos of us playing the match against oxford taken by the lovely nick here: photos This is us in a local cycling mag:


Who I'd like to meet:
anyone that loves bikes and would like to come play with us or against us.

The Manchester Bicycle Polo team started in April 2007. Since then we have played every week and taken part in many tournaments and matches.

It is an exiting and exhilarating sport to play or even just to watch! And playing can help improve your balance and overall cycling skills that are transferable to road and mountain biking.

If you would like to get involved then come along to one of our practises where we teach new comers how to play the sport free of charge and then have a few practise matches. Every Thursday at 6pm at Whitworth Park, Denmark Road

Every 2nd and 4th Sunday we meet for an inter-city tournament with teams from Manchester playing against each other. Feel free to come and watch!

Up and coming matches/tournaments

3rd June MCR Dropouts Bike polo demo at the Mad Ferret Festival, Manchester

14th June MCR Dropouts Bike polo demo at Bike Week, Cathdral Gardens, Manchester

17th August Shoreditch Bike Polo Invitational

we went to london bicycle film festival polo tournament and came 3rd out of about 18 teams..ace ace ace

Tues 12th May 2009, The Klondyke Club, Burnage Range (off Albert Road), Levenshulme, Manchester, 8pm, £4

xNoBBQx (Australia) + Hathor Duo (UK) + Trinity (UK)

BACK ON!!!

We're absolutely delighted to say that, after much hassle at the airport and having to fly back to Berlin, xNoBBQx are now able to play the scheduled show at the Klondyke Club. The dude of can-do Chris Tipton has managed to sort out work permits for the band so it's all groovy. Yes! It's gonna be a really amazing show, so please come show some love to these weary travellers who, we promise, will give you a gig to remember.

Vampire Blues is the duo of guitar player Jon Collin (Serfs, The Whole Voyald) and harmonium player Jon Marshall (The Hunter Gracchus, Peril Hill). They have a pretty special tape out on Blackest Rainbow. We can't recommend them highly enough.

The Fifth Band is the gobsmacking trio of Stephen Lawrie (The Telescopes), Bridget Hayden (Vibracathedral Orchestra) and Kryszt Hladowski (The Family Elan). Oof.

A Wake is the duo of Nick Mitchell and Fliss Horrocks who also play in Beach Fuzz.
This will actually probably end-up being a Beach Fuzz performance - this incarnation's first inside the UK.
