A bit glib but always good to score some free press. If you love your bike you’re hardly going to risk chipping the paint while you learn how to pass under your bottom bracket – that’s between your own wheels for the uninitiated. The real-world benefit of playing polo is improved bike handling skills and dealing with collisions and falls. MBPC-affiliated players have won two prominent ‘foot down’ comps in the past eight months …
Maybe not exactly, “love your bike” but “love cycling so much you’re looking for yet another excuse to ride”.
I agree with what Alex said above about skills and confidence.
Polo tests and entertains me in different ways to commuting and XC.
