During the pandemic, Malte Bossert came up with the idea of a themed bicycle tour whose goal would be to visit all 46 places in his native Germany with the name of Neukirchen (literally, “New Church”). Malte convinced his lifelong friend and fellow computer science student Tilman to participate, and together they wrote a program on Christmas Eve to optimize their route. Zigzagging around Germany on a recumbent tandem, Malte and Tilman were surprised – and at times overwhelmed – to experience six weeks of fame, as mayors, local organizations, church officials, and even local newspaper reporters lined up to meet them and prove that their Neukirchen was the best.
Malte and Tilman’s blog, written in German, can be found at www.neukirchen-tour.de.
