Group bicycle games
Encyclopedia
Bicycle groups or gangs often participate in games that take place in an empty parking lot or basketball court. These games include Bike Tag and Bike Polo.
The playing area is usually flat area such as basketball courts or tennis courts, once a player has set a foot down on the ground and is eliminated they use their bike as a border, all the eliminated players will create the circular border making the area smaller and smaller as the final participants battle to the end.
It is quite legitimate to steer a competitor into the curb so they have no choice but to put their foot down. Note that this game favors those with a good sense of balance.
Footdown may be played on any type of bike.
A variant of footdown called 'derby' is played by the SCUL
bicycle chopper gang.

Footdown
One example of a bicycle game is 'Footdown' which, as the name suggests, is a game where the objective is NOT to put your foot down. Participants cycle around until there is only one person who has not put their foot down on the floor, whether it be the full foot, or just a toe. Rules vary, sometimes hands may be used to knock opponents off their bike, sometimes feet may be used, or hands on and feet on is a more polite game.The playing area is usually flat area such as basketball courts or tennis courts, once a player has set a foot down on the ground and is eliminated they use their bike as a border, all the eliminated players will create the circular border making the area smaller and smaller as the final participants battle to the end.
