The original Bikes Logo by Seton
It all started around January of 2010. A few veterans of the Amsterdam frisbee scene, some who had been playing with the University ultimate team NUTS, others who had been on several Crunch teams, were discussing how they always wished to play together on the same mixed team. A team that would stay together, travel to legendary tournaments, play well but also have plenty of laughs on and off the field.
The first practices took place in February 2010, under the guidance of our own Bike Emeritus: Marc! It was at this time that the name Rusty Bikes was agreed upon, as that is one thing we have a lot of in Amsterdam, we love to ride, and to be honest, after a long tournament, it is how we often feel.
What started as a small but hopeful initiative blossomed into a full squad that functions more as an extended family, with members based far beyond the Netherlands. A team that is always a threat in every tournament they participate in, to reach the final, to win the party, and to take home spirit as they have so often done.
We are the Rusty Bikes. And we really enjoy being so.
