Women in Bike Polo-Press

Published Thursday, July 22, 2010 - 11:27am at NYC Bike Polo

Hey there! Me again! Letting all you fine people know that we were covered in the press again.
This time AOL’s online spot Asylum covered the ladies of bike polo in New York City.
Emily Epstein contacted me about doing a piece on women only, it was unfortunate that she came up with this idea a mere week after the Ladies Army II was finished, but we did what we could for her and gave it our all.
Myself, Fiona, Sara, and Katie all participated and were covered in a more “baseball card” style of reporting.

Published Saturday, July 10, 2010 - 5:56pm at NYC Bike Polo

Known for it’s business and almost corporate influence, read by all of New York’s top-tier financial and world political individuals, not to mention the international following of readers it has, I thought, “what does NYC Bike Polo have to do with the Wall Street Journal?”
