Jerome K. Jerome
Three Men on the Bummel (also known as Three Men on Wheels) was published in 1900, eleven years after his most famous work, Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog).
The story revives the three companions who featured in Three Men in a Boat, this time their journey taking them on a bicycle tour through the German Black Forest. Written during the Victorian era bicycle-craze. in a light-hearted way it's a commentary on German culture at the time told through the eyes of the hapless British tourist.
The narrator fills us in further: "A 'Bummel'," I explained, "I should describe as a journey, long or short, without an end; the only thing regulating it being the necessity of getting back within a given time to the point from which one started. Sometimes it is through busy streets, and sometimes through the fields and lanes; sometimes we can be spared for a few hours, and sometimes for a few days. But long or short, but here or there, our thoughts are ever on the running of the sand. We nod and smile to many as we pass; with some we stop and talk awhile; and with a few we walk a little way. We have been much interested, and often a little tired. But on the whole we have had a pleasant time, and are sorry when it's over."
