Bikes Direct Lauds Design of Hardcourt Bike Polo

Still a relatively new incarnation, Hardcourt Bike Polo originated in Seattle in the early 2000s by a cyclist introduced to traditional Bike Polo, reports Bikes Direct. Without regular access to turfed areas, Seattle players took to the pavement. Soon Hardcourt Bike Polo emerged as its own sport, adds Bikes Direct, still bearing traces of its roots in traditional bike polo but distinct enough to be recognized as its own entity. As Hardcourt Bike Polo spread to other cities, each city contributed its own unique aspect to the sport. As such, Bikes Direct points out that Hardcourt Bike Polo represents the diversity of its players, and Bikes Direct is happy to see that it has been emerging within the fixie community in its own hometown.

Hardcourt Bike Polo games can be played on any paved surface, from parking lot to outdoor basketball court to street. Bikes Direct explains that the game consists of two teams, each with three players. Players use handcrafted mallets, similar in appearance to croquet mallets. Players hit a plastic ball into the opposing team’s goal area, and contact is not prohibited between players on opposing teams, notes Bikes Direct. Some players end the game by time, others when one team reaches a pre-determined score.

Many Bikes Direct staffers have been spectators at Hardcourt Bike Polo games and have noted with interest the many modifications players make to their bikes, typically either fixed gear or free-wheel single speed. Bikes Direct staffers familiar with the sport explain that these modifications are made in order to maximize playing potential on the court. These modifications include changing drop bars to riser bars so that the rider can maintain a more upright position during game play, shortening the width of the handlebars so that he or she has room to swing the mallets, and most expressive of all, creating solid covers for the wheels in order to block the ball. Because the wheels have such a large surface area, these covers provide a great canvas for players to decorate, adds Bikes Direct.

There are many blogs dedicated to Hardcourt Bike Polo, says Bikes Direct, and these blogs often feature photo galleries of players’ bikes. Bikes Direct is always excited to see customers’ bikes that have been modified for bike polo play. Both the Mercier Kilo TT and the Windsor Hour, two of Bikes Direct’s best-selling fixed gear bikes, make regular appearances in these galleries. An interesting development, according to Bikes Direct, is the increased use of mini velos by Hardcourt Bike Polo players. Bikes Direct is especially happy to see these bikes being used because they will soon be stocking mini velos by both Windsor and Mercier.

Long popular in Japan, mini velos have only recently begun making waves here in the United States, reports Bikes Direct. What differentiates mini velos from their standard-sized counterparts is their 20 inch wheel size, explains Bikes Direct. Due to their small wheels, mini velos are incredibly nimble and are a natural choice for Hardcourt Bike Polo players. As talk in the Bikes Direct office has increased around this style of bike, Bikes Direct staffers have become more and more intrigued by these quirky bikes. Mini velos have frames very similar in style to regular road bikes, and the Windsor and Mercier models that Bikes Direct will soon be stocking bear a striking resemble to the companies’ popular fixies, the Windsor Hour and the Mercier Kilo TT. And just as fixie riders love to customize their bikes with different styles of bars, saddles, colors, and wheels, Bikes Direct has noticed the same trend amongst mini velo riders. Bikes Direct hopes that mini velos will reach a wide audience in the United States as they have in Japan. Originally designed to provide a minimal footprint in a country where space is a premium, Bikes Direct says that mini velos can provide that same convenience to United States customers who lack large amounts of storage space.

Bikes Direct hopes that the mini velos they will soon be offering will be as well-received as the track bikes they carry. Bikes Direct staffers who have had the opportunity to ride samples of these mini velos have been won over by the speed and agility of these bikes, and Bikes Direct wants to assert that although mini velos are diminutive in appearance, they sacrifice nothing in the way of parts and components. Bikes Direct says that these bikes are meant to be ridden, and are equipped to provide a high quality ride.

Bikes Direct staffers are eager to hear customer feedback on what they think is a really exciting addition to Bikes Direct’s already great line-up of bikes. All contact information can be found on the Bikes Direct website at http://www.bikesdirect.com/contact.htm.

About the Author

Bikes Direct continues to provide the same excellent cycling experience that riders around the world have come to expect from Motobecane. As a beginning, Bikes Direct can offer this brief history; Motobecane has been making bikes since 1923 and was named after the French word Moto for motorcycle and Becane for bike. Things went well for the company until 1981 when they were bankrupt and bought by Yamaha and became MBK. Now Motobecane USA is not related to the French company as they import bikes from Taiwan and China, these are the bikes you are interested in. Bikes Direct offers these Bikes Direct to the public at competitive price points and excellent quality.

According to Bikes Direct, Motobécane was a major manufacturer in the French bicycle industry. The frames on Motobécane’s mid-to-upper bikes were typically double-butted lugged steel made from Vitus or Reynolds 531 molybdenum/manganese steel tubing with Nervex lugs. Motobécane finished their frames in beautiful and high-quality paint, a practice not often followed in the French industry. Considered the second most prestigious French bicycle (after Peugeot, whose more durable design they emulated, but ahead of Gitane), Bikes Direct remembers Motobécane’s mid-range bikes as a good value; the company kept prices reasonable by matching high-quality frames with lower-priced, but higher-quality components from Japan, at a time when competitors were putting higher-priced, lower quality French components on mid-range bikes. Bikes Direct says that Motobécane bicycles included the Nomade, Mirage, Super Mirage, Super Touring, Grand Touring, Sprint, Jubilee, Grand Record, Le Champion, and Team Champion.

Have you heard a talking clock?

After closing time at a local bar, a drunk was proudly showing off his new apartment to a couple of his friends. He led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong and a mallet.
‘What’s that big brass gong?’ one of the guests asked.
‘It’s not a gong. It’s a talking clock,’ the drunk replied.
‘A talking clock? Seriously?’ asked his astonished friend.
‘Yup,’ replied the drunk.
‘How’s it work?’ the friend asked, squinting at it.
‘Watch,’ the drunk replied. He picked up the mallet, gave the gong an ear-shattering thump and stepped back.
The three stood looking at one another for a moment…….
Suddenly, from the other side of the wall someone yelled, ‘You idiot! It’s three-fifteen in the morning!’

I saw that one in Reader’s Digest. It’s pretty funny!
