Your bike in front of something different...

I appreciate the way British people express solidarity with my adopted city of Freiburg im Breisgau.

I stayed at the Youth Hostel in Freiburg... Never knew it was Moulton's Twin town...

I don’t get it, why is the bench “different”??

There are at least 5 different villages called Moulton in the UK (probably more!).

A small one I ride through occasionally in the Vale of Glamorgan, then one in North Yorkshire, one in Cheshire, one in Suffolk, one in Northamptonshire.

But actually Andy was referring to the crosses - the St George's Cross is the flag of Freiburg, it isn't twinned with any Moulton

I regularly drive past a sign to Moulton off the A11.

I just looked it up and Freiburg is twinned with Guildford; I think Guildford got the better part of that bargain.

Or maybe it was that or Moulton?

Touring bike in front of... um...

I think it's a floating loader for putting gravel onto the big cargo boats that travel the Rhine, but it looks like a low budget German version of "Waterworld..."

It can be seen on Google Maps as well...

My first thought was a dredger - but it would be dredging up gravel and loading it onto barges/cargo boats.

I'm guessing that's it. They will need to dredge the river because of the locks and weirs which will mean the sediment will collect, which you don't want on hydro power stations, or indeed on a major European freight artery.
