photo's documenting: bike polo championships

Bike polo in melbourne is with no disrespect intended, a sport mainly participated in by Critical Mass attendees and folding bike enthusiasts. The rest of Australia seems to have a different (more agressive) take on it however, which made for an interesting weekend down at Flagstaff gardens. There were many many spills, elbows, mallets under wheels and kamikaze t-bone crashes. In between the heavy showers of rain on sunday, there were also a fair few spectators.
