About the Boxwood Bicycle Polo Company
The Boxwood Bicycle Polo Company was founded in 1994
by Lou Lopez and Bill Matheson, two members of the legendary Boxwood Bicycle
Polo Team, which went undefeated in 4-on-4 competition from 1972 through
1981, at which point they went their separate ways. That's Matheson and Lopez
at the far right in the picture below, after Boxwood's victory in the 1972
Cartier Challenge Cup in Southhampton, NY. Their other teammates were Charlie
Bostwick (#5), Peter Mulligan (#4), and the late Jan Wendland (#2). The Cartier
Challenge Cup was played from 1971-74, at which point the beautiful silver
and gold trophy with the wooden base disappeared. There have been several
sightings reported at the Racquet Club in New York City, but repeated efforts
to recover the trophy have come to naught.
