Bikeball, as it is played in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, is a variant of mountain bike polo that is a little closer to hockey than it is to horse polo. The game is fast-paced, with lots of action on the field and in the air, as the ball is frequently lofted and hit out of the air. There has been a group playing in the twin cities since the mid 1980s and the present games are played in the lakes area of Minneapolis on Thursday evenings when daylight saving time is in effect. Weekend games are also often scheduled, but the time and day varies. New players are welcome and will be able to join a game if there are not too many players. Weekend games are generally the best in which to try out the sport. Sign up for the mailing list (in the forum section of this site) to find out when the next weekend game is.
