Until December 15th, we’ll be playing once a week at the Malešice rink, weather permitting:
-
every Wednesday, 8:00 — 10:00 PM
We will/might be meeting at the the usual spot, exit of Depo Hostivař metro station at 30 minutes before the game, or just come directly to the rink.

Great site and I think the bike polo cards are great. Acquire now before the values sky rocket.

Hey,
Im in town this coming weekend.
Any polo happening? No bike with me but want to come down and say hello.
Hey John – we will definitely be playing. We’re attempting to find a proper court at the moment, but we’ll post all updates here and on Twitter, so just check in every once in a while and we look forward to seeing you here!
Cool man,
I will bring some stickers with me. Everyone likes stickers right!?
Of course they do! Patch tires, seal up postboxes! Stickers are great!
I came to polo today and nobody´s there. How dissapointing… It was my last chance for a long time, as I´m leaving for a couple of months. You guys should have posted here that it´s not taking place today… Maybe it´s my fault I know nobody of you guys.
//Hi Pavel. And all who might have missed us. Please check thetwitter feed for game updates! Some days we don’t have enough players, so updates are on there.
Hi Pavel, today is our alleycat race – 17:30 at hradcanske namesti. No polo today because of that. If you leave your email, I can let you know when we are playing, as some weekends we don’t have enough players. This is a blog, so no spam… Come out to ride this evening though, it’s going to be a killer race!
hey guys, i’m from Moscow. I’ill be in Praha sinse this wednesday till sunday. I have a great interest to FixedGear and I would like to visit a bikepolo game (If will be) and some shop with the stuff. So, if u could give me a few adress or contacts its ill be pretty nice. all the best, Alex.
Hey Alex!
Sadly, there’s no fixie shop in Prague. There is one in Budapest, and a couple in Berlin. We will hopefully play polo on Saturday and MAYBE on Wednesday night. Check the blog for details!
I’m really upset. do u know how long to go to Berlin from Pragua by train? or if its possible could u give me a links to the shops or something like that, I ill be appreciate. and last question, sorry) Where do u play polo precisely? Hellichova or heldova ? Tnx, for all.
Hi Alex – Berlin is about 6 hours by train. Budapest is about the same by bus. Sorry :-S

Hi!!
We are a group of swiss (Geneva) students and are making a study about bike polo.
As we can only interview swiss people and consider really intresting the fact that bikepolo is such a recent sport but already has an international network, we wondered if you’d agree to answer a few questions below, if possible in quite a developed and precise way (if you have enough time, otherwise we’d be grateful even with short answers). Moreover, I wondered if you could transfer them to other payers…
I hope it won’t sound boring because we’d really be intrest by your answers, and it would really help us. Of course as normal students we are super late so if you’d be motivated to answer please please don’t take too long ;). You can answer on that e-mail and transfer it: marie_bouvier@hotmail.com
I already thank you a lot and am sorry for my english (but as a french speaking person I’m naturally bad hehe).
And if you want more informations about our study, don’t hesitate to ask!!

Hey guys
I’m from Switzerland (Zurich) and we have also a growing scene of bikepolo with the same problems as you have (not enough player, securitas who kick us out the garage, and so on). I am from 18.6 untill 23.6 with my schoolclass in Prag. On which do you play? If I can organize it I’d like to come by and drink a beer or two 😉
