Wow, you're so hardcourt -- in bike polo, that is. If you haven't heard of this old school sport remix inspiring a new craze across the country from New York to Los Angeles, you might want to hop on now. Bike polo is the latest hipster trend played on street hockey courts in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, in Seattle and California, to name a few. And, it just might be your new favorite sport.

All you need to tap into this sport are two teams of three players, helmets, bikes, a ball, four cones and a mallet, of course. Next, you need an awesome team name and maybe if you're feeling really into it, some artistic wheel covers.

Then, who knows, maybe you can start a league in your town. But first, make sure you know the difference between a shot and a shuffle. Plus, you might want to know what a T-bone is. We'll give you a hint: it has nothing to do with steak.
