Milwaukee Bike Polo Club

Now that its winter we have a few months off of traveling and playing in “big” tournaments. Which means we all have some time to experiment with our equipment.  I wanted to stop faster and burn through less tires so I came up with this. Ben Schultz in Chicago showed me the problem solvers piece and with some help from drew at the shop I came up with the noodle. The noodle allows me to use the U brake with out running the cable through my fork. I take my fork off when I ever I pack my bike up to put on a plane so it’s clutch that the cable runs this way.  I played a few games of pick up the other night and so far I like it a lot.

For the last 3 or 4 weeks Milwaukee bike polo has been meeting up with the Chicago and Madison clubs for some friendly pick up. This past week was Madisons turn and Minneapolis even decided to make the drive to play with us.  Our Friends from Madison never let us down as host. This time around they had local coffee, home made biscuits and jam, cinnamon buns and of course there was beer. Here’s a shot by kev walsh of some of the food.
