Three Men on the Bummel

A Bummel, I explained, I should describe as a journey, long or short, without end. However wonderful this may sound, it is often necessary to arrive back at the starting point. And, for the three fearless friends whose earlier adventures were told in Three Men in a Boat, this poses a troublesome problem. George, Harris, and J. decide to take a cycling trip through the Black Forestto be accomplished on a tandem plus one. Whether it is Harriss harrowing experience with a Hanoverian roadwaterer or Georges valiant attempt to buy a cushion for his aunt, their experiences are hilariousand they may even offer some important lessons to all who may be contemplating a cycling trip in the U.S.
