Three men on the bummel
"Three Men on the Bummel" by Jerome K. Jerome is a humorous novel published in 1900. The sequel to "Three Men in a Boat" follows the same three companions on a bicycle tour through Germany during the height of the Victorian cycling craze. Through comic vignettes and amusing observations, the novel explores German culture, cycling mishaps, and the quirks of early recreational biking. The journey unfolds as a "bummel"—a wandering adventure regulated only by the need to return home.
