Bicycle Soccer

bike_soccer_kick_off.jpgNormally when you think of bicycles and soccer you think about something along the lines of this overhead goal. It turns out that some crazy kids are starting to play soccer using honest to goodness bicycles. The proof is in the video below which comes from a school in Tokyo. I also happened to see a game being played on a tennis court down the street from me a few weeks ago. The game I witnessed involved more crashes and more alcohol than the one in the video and frankly it had just enough gore and excitement to make me think that it might catch on. The only question is what do you call an overhead goal scored on a bicycle? A bicycle bicycle kick?

    you might be surprised, but what in Wiki is called "Cycle-ball" is not some kind of new weird thing, but world championships are held already since 1929. Germany, Switzerland and Czech Republic are the main countries where this sport is played in organized form. I've watched a number of games in person and on tv and it can be quite exciting if played on a high level.
