Equipment & tactics question

[americancrx]

I've found an interesting tactical wrinkle after reading the Laws of the Game.

I don't see a rule in the Equipment section forbidding the use of a bicycle.

Could my team go out with a 1-3-3-3 formation, with the sweeper riding to wherever the opposition breaks through? Would he have to stay mounted to make the challenge?

Think it probably falls under ungentlemanly conduct, which is the catch all for stupid suggestions.

Or equipment likely to endanger yourself or an opponent (jewellery, sharp studs, pedals, handle bars ).

Do the laws allow you to literally park a bus?

I've seen that played before. The skill involved (both bike & ball) is incredible.

Yep. I can barely kick a ball in the right direction and balance on a bicycle. Forget combining those two skills!
