The Town Musicians of Bremen (323)

Tourist photograph #1. Check out the story of the four musicians.


Bike handling
Btw, rear-ended a fellow motorist in almost stationary traffic on the autobahn on the way to Bremen. Have realised that the weight/distribution of luggage makes the front end of the bike skittish at slow speeds*. This probably contributed to me clipping a lorry with the pannier while filtering with the result that I mashed a Dutch couple's brand new bicycle carrier. 😥 No damage to the bike. 🙂

All-in-all, it was no biggie. A very civilised exchange took place and I'll have to cough up when they know the cost.

*Bike handles perfectly well at all other times. Will have to see what can be done to eliminate the issue.

  3. As I recall, the Town Musicians of Bremen is basically a good socialist tale of the downtrodden achieving a comfortable life. Appropriately, they never actually become musicians!
    As to the bump, let's hope you've got that out of the way good and early!
