Their Kingdom for a Bike: It’s Polo on Two Wheels

“They call it “the pit.” On a shady asphalt lot between Chrystie and Forsyth Streets on the Lower East Side, a young man in glasses and a faded tank top walked around with a leaf blower, sending twigs, grit and debris into its far corners.”

Best quote:

“The players at the pit remain devoted to each other and to the sport, but also to just having a good time. “At the end of the day,” Ms. Flores said, “you rode your bike in circles all day with your friends and had fun. How many adults our age wouldn’t want to do that?”
