The Bike Polo Veteran

Jake Levin (above) started playing bike polo a decade ago when a coworker dragged him into it. But it turns out the “off-kilter” sport was the competitive outlet he needed: “I was so terrifed the first time, and now I get frustrated having to wait between games.” Levin’s watched the sport evolve since then: It’s more mellow (read: less drinking), but between actual contact and in-game heated words, the competition is hardly tame.
