Kudos to Jimmy (of FuckGas.org, based out of Louisville) for the nice write up on the growth of bike polo here in North America.

You can download it here: http://urbanvelo.org/download/

I even managed to get quoted in the article:
Quote:
As is human nature, when people gather in activity regulation and standardization are never far behind. On the heels of the announcement of the 2009 Hardcourt Bicycle Polo World Championships came rumors of the Hardcourt Bicycle Polo Federation (the Fed) starting up. For some, this seems exactly what polo needs while others don’t want anything to do with it all. The majority of players I’ve talked with don’t have an overwhelming opinion on it one way or the other. As Brian Turner from Lexington noted, “On a strictly personal level, I don’t think it will impact the sport for me because I will always be the type of player who prefers simply playing pickup games with my friends and occasionally a neighboring city’s team.” This thought has been pretty constant in many of the players interviewed.

Needless to say, there's pics of Chris "glamourpuss" Simpson in there too.
