  • Bike Polo Story
    FORewoRD The game of bicycle polo was conceived in 1891 and is a direct descendant of the very ancient game of horse polo which dates back to 600 BC, and the modern game of hardcourt bike polo - one of the world’s fastest growing urban sports is considered the edgier first cousin of the 19th century grass version. From its genesis in late 19th century Ireland through to its modern day incarnation, this book unravels the history of this fascinating and misunderstood sport. It charts key moments, explores the games pioneers and gets under the skin of some of today’s star exponents. And there are some surprises along the way… Before Hoy, Pendleton, Farah and Ennis cast a golden glow over London 2012, 104 years earlier, bike polo pedalled into the 1908 London Olympics as an exhibition sport. And it may surprise you to know that Princes; Phillip, Wills and Harry have all be known to ditch the horse in favour of the bike… This is the compelling and eventful story of the history of bike polo. Enjoy the journey… 1891 Bicycle Polo, a game of strenuous amusement is born... n 1891, having retired from racing – ‘ordinary’ and tricycle – the Irish cycling Ienthusiast Richard J McCready (hereafter referred to as ‘RJ’) set about inventing a game that would provide ‘strenuous amusement’ and a welcome diversion from editing his beloved Irish Cyclist. His invention? ‘Polo on Wheels’. Following the inaugural game at the Scalp in Co. Wicklow, Richard J McCready Cycling magazine observed the following: “the game of cycling polo promises to be immensely popular…and not at all so dangerous as would appear from the title.” Quick to show his hand was the mysterious Cosmo- Cyclo who wrote an enthusiastic letter published in Cycling stating that since the introduction of pneumatic tyres “cycle polo is not only possible but exciting and enjoyable too!” In Ireland, the sport rapidly gained momentum, with the wider racing fraternity quickly picking up on the benefits of a game that would efficiently hone “..the hands, the head and the eye..” of the racing man.

  • Introducción La Bicicleta, Como Hay Se La Conoce, Viene Siendo Usada
    Introducción La bicicleta, como hay se la conoce, viene siendo usada para transportarse desde finales del siglo XIX en todo el mundo. Desde entonces compite con el principal exponente representativo de la sociedad de consumo, el automóvil. A partir de la revolución Industrial hasta 1997 el total de automóviles fabricados en todo el mundo alcanzaba los 500 millones, y en el mismo año las bicicletas superaban los 800 millones. Desde el movimiento provo, involucrado en protestas frente a la estructura de la sociedad burguesa y proponiendo soluciones para crear una ciudad más habitable, junto al caso de las bicicletas blancas de Ámsterdam, se comienza a pensar a la bicicleta como un transporte público inteligente, amigable y eficiente, en función de un entorno urbano más saludable que mejore la calidad de vida y no condene a las generaciones futuras. El transporte se constituye en un tipo especial de desplazamiento, supone la existencia de un movimiento con dos tipos de elementos: los de índole material o físico y los de índole espacio-temporal. Por consiguiente, el fin del transporte no es el movimiento en sí, sino el movimiento orientado desde un lugar de origen hacia otro de destino. (Petrus Bey y Seguí Ponss, 1991). Dentro de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, la necesidad de desplazarse se desprende de la demanda que exige el desarrollo y evolución de las diversas actividades que se llevan a cabo en sociedad. Del análisis crítico sobre la actual situación del tránsito en la Capital Federal, surgen dos temas los cuales se abordarán por la incidencia que los distintos medios de transporte ejercen sobre estos: el medio ambiente y la calidad de vida.
