BBB?

The Three B’s make me think of Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms. How about my own personal BBB? Bicycling, Books, and … hmm. What’s that third one?

Beethoven would be just fine. There’s the first movement of his Seventh Symphony, with those glorious French horns! King Stephen Overture! After a slow introduction, the beginning of the quick section has always made me think of  “Shortnin’ Bread”.

What else could B-3 be? Bars? As in Clif Bars? There are many flavors to chose from; Sierra Trail Mix is my favorite. There are Luna Bars,  too. I like the Chocolate Peppermint flavor.

Bangladesh, as in take a bicycle tour there? In general, Bangladesh is a safe country, and it’s mostly flat. Touring cyclists are accorded near-celebrity states there, which I’m not sure I would enjoy. I prefer to be anonymous.

I hope the third B of cycling isn’t bedlam! That’s what a pile-up in Tour de France can look like. It’s a miracle that more of those riders don’t suffer horrific injuries. Road rash looks bad enough!

Any more B’s? Belgium? In that country, you can choose flat or hilly routes. How about the Baltic? You can enjoy cycling routes in Poland or Lithuania.
