EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1930s in County Wicklow, Ireland. Three young men can be seen engaging in a unique and thrilling sport known as Cycle polo. The invention of retired cyclist Richard J. Mecredy, Cycle polo offers a fascinating twist on traditional polo by replacing horses with bicycles. As we observe these three fellows immersed in the game, their intense concentration is evident. With determination etched on their faces, they skillfully maneuver their bicycles across the field. This snapshot captures not only a moment frozen in time but also showcases the spirit of adventure and innovation that characterized the early 20th century. The image exudes an air of camaraderie as these young men come together to engage in this unusual sporting activity. Bicycles were not merely modes of transport during this era; they became vehicles for entertainment and recreation too. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging times, people found ways to enjoy themselves through games like Cycle polo. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured by Staff at Memory Lane Prints, it sparks curiosity about how such unconventional sports have evolved over time while reminding us that sometimes it's the unexpected activities that bring joy into our lives.
