Your Bike in front of a Church

[Andy in Germany]

My bike in front of the Clemenskirche in Oferdingen, near Tübingen.

I've realised that riding along the Neckar Valley it is hard to get close to churches because the locals rather sensibly built their villages up and off the flood plain.

On the other hand I'd totally own a "your bike in front of a water treatment plant" thread.

Found another one from today:

My bike in front of the "Evangelical" (ie: Lutheran) church in Mittelstadt.

And a water mill...

All Saints in Thorndon from today's outing.

The rather splendid church-in-miniature at Clyst Hydon. Actually, it feels bigger inside than it looks from the outside.

Stanton Low in Milton Keynes

interestingly, the main door and structure from this was taken to be used in the Church at the end of my road, I’ll link to that another day

Question/s time @uphillstruggler

why was it abandoned?

what's the bike?

 

[briantrumpet]

why was it abandoned?

Because the congregation kept on getting rained on?

the link may give you some info.

the bike is the ridgeback 604lt we’ve discussed previously, chucked new tyres on it at the weekend as it’s been very wet round our way recently and I fancied a couple of hours getting muddy on the bridle ways locally. The gearing would go up a cliff so ideal for climbing muddy bridleways

Take it that a catholic one ? They often look grim to but the fear of god up you.
