well, not exactly bike polo... cycle ball. its a bit different.
unlike bike polo, cycle ball is a uci world championship event - along with artistic cycling, it makes up the split discipline of "indoor cycling".

its basically a lot like soccer, but played by two-man teams on bikes. you can only move the ball with your bike, and a lot of time is spent wheelie-ing.
polo bikes are fairly similarly constructed, but there are a few differences... both sports (and artistic cycling) date back to the turn of last century...
