Sports Beyond Imagination: The World's Weirdest Competitions

Cycle Ball

An 11 by 14-meter field is usually used for cycle ball games. Like in soccer, the players' goal is to score a goal in the opposing team's net. The thin-wheeled bicycles that the players ride around the field have fixed gears, no brakes, and no rear derailleur. These bikes include a repositioned saddle to provide athletes with more movement and curved handlebars to make it easier to hit the ball with the front wheel. Players are permitted to contact the ball with their heads, torsos, or bicycles, but not with their hands or feet.

Motoball

Because it's played on a motorcycle, this is a more extreme kind of cycle ball. The field where the game is played is 105 meters long and 68 meters wide, the same size as a football pitch. Usually, the field's surface is made of asphalt or grass. Five players make up each team: four motorcycle-riding field players and a goalkeeper.
