Bent plays the 3 B's?
There's something cool in the fact that you're 'Bent' and you play the cello! you're playing the 3 B's? Forgive my ignorance but who's Frank Bridge?
Good luck! Break a leg! Do ya play dressed in bike helmet and spandex?!

How many B's can you handle?
Bridge was Benjamin Britten's teacher. Aptly named, he penned a musical bridge from Edwardian lyricism to 20th century modernism. wow! (this sonata is middle-period: romantic, but very forward-looking)
What am i missing about the Bent/cello coolness. . . ? I mean it would be cool to see Casals ride a bicycle, too.
bike shoes too dangerous to wear on a marble floor.

high culture in B
wow! A good music lesson for bozo biking Bill.
Cool! A biking cellist. So this isn't like 'Music in the Subway'? You're quite good, huh? Your credentials? (brag a little)
Bent, a bicyclist, to broadcast Britten/Bridge, Beethoven, Brahms before B-SIG. Be there, bike club!!
p.s. How does one carry one's cello on one's bike?

probably 2 hours
Colleen-
I would guess under two hours (plus reception) as she wrote that bike fans can be in bed by 10.
hey, one more year and your son can do the NYCC youth program ....and lug a cello around too!

A true story: cellos and cycling in the Alps
"Three years ago, nearing the end of a Zurich-Nice ride, I happened upon two German cyclotourists on the Larche/Maddalena Pass (the southern most paved road connecting Italy and France...unless the Lombarde (Isola 2000) and Tende Passes have been paved in these last few years). If you've seen German cyclotourists, you know the enormous amount of stuff they load onto their bikes. I chatted up these riders and asked what all they were carrying.
To my astonishment, one of them said a cello! Huh? How's that? ""A cello?"" Yes, he repeated, a cello. I couldn't imagine a folding cello. Where would you put the hinges?!
We talked further. They turn out to have been itinerant missionaries and ministers. What I heard as ""cello"" turned out to be a........
chalice!
