We're playing at Riverside Park
Fridays at 7pm (Except during Critical Mass) & Sundays at 1pm


Hello and welcome!! Miami Bike Polo has come together in the past year with the intent to make it easy for anyone interested in playing bike polo. It has really taken off and we can't be more excited. We are still working very hard to keep you informed and organized plus we've made a bunch of loaner mallets so all you need to do is show up with your bike. We have a couple weekly games that we organize at Riverside Park; Fridays at 7pm, except during critical mass, and Sundays at 1pm. It's also a great way to just hangout with fellow bike riders and unwind.

So for now, check out our website, learn about the game, make yourself a mallet if you want and we hope to see you on the court and having a blast! And if you've never played before, no worries, we still have a lot of new and first time players, so we'll have beginner games going every time we play.

If you'd like to stay in the loop, 'Like' us on Facebook or follow us on twitter. If you'd like to be involved, just let us know! Start a discussion on our forum, post on our wall, tweet your thoughts, setup a meetup, etc… we welcome and encourage any participation :) THANK YOU and see you all soon!!

True Teamwork

True Teamwork from UNC | Carolina Photojournalism.

At the corner of 2nd & Grace sits a vacant lot. And a ragtag band of friends from downtown Wilmington have turned it into their playground. At least twice a week, cycling advocates gather to burn some rubber playing bike polo.

The group is known as Port City Polo. Chris Barber, a member of PCP, reflects on the community that bike polo provided at a time when he lost hope.

Miami is creating bicycle culture in the city through the Bike Polo sport - a sport that has been around since the 1890's but is fairly new to Miami. Miami Bike Polo started up in April of 2011 and has been spreading with awareness since. Miami wants to take part in making sure Bike Polo gets the recognition its entitled.
They appreciate and welcome new comers, so, everyone come check it out!
