New Year Bike Polo Throw In Tournament

(02.01.10)

Started off the new year by heading to Amsterdam and checking out, and, taking part in a bike polo tournament. Was a good learning experience. Like for one, my bike is really set for distance and not something like this (52x16, vs the more common 46x17, or even lighter on bikes that looked like they're specially just for polo.
