Cycle polo at Union Street

Just saw some of the European cycle polo Championships taking place today at Marlborough Gardens,Union Street..Good to see that space being used more,and I like the counter culture of those involved,as far removed from the horsey type as one could imagine.

A fantastic weekend, run by volunteers and winding down... but if you are quick you can watch the last remaining matches, streaming here:

I thoroughly enjoyed it but thought some enterprising SE1 catering types could have made a killing as a franchise, (I only ever left to eat) maybe next year!

That was a hell of a lot of fun. I wanna play! Need to sort out my fixie.

Walking home last night I saw some of the people involved ramming refuse sacks with their bikes and scattering their contents around Union St. I was not impressed.
