See the light I went out from church and saw my bicycle being left under a tree. As I was approaching it, I became aware that it's saddle was fixed higher than I expected. I was disappointed that someone might have used my bicycle without my permission during my short prayer. For me it looked slightly complex to restore the saddle and I was in a hurry, so I left the saddle as it was to go to a bakery while pushing the bicycle. However again, in front of the bakery, I felt impatient as I found that I was not able to remember how to use its lock. I left the bicycle unlocked and went into the shop while feeling that something mystifying has happend. I went out the bakery and I saw the bicycle being left in front of the shop. As I was approaching it, a new idea came to me; to assume that that bicycle was not mine. That idea resolved all my doubts. Then, the more I looked at it the more stranger to me it looked. I had to go to church again to confess. :-(

See the light

I went out from church and saw my bicycle left/had been left  being left under a tree.


Here: being left means someone right now is putting the bicycle there. So better: had been left/ or left (adj.)

Even better is to leave this out: I saw my bicycle under a tree. 


As I was approaching it, I became aware that it's   its saddle was fixed positioned higher than I expected.

I was disappointed that someone might have used my bicycle without my permission during my short prayer.

For me it looked slightly complicated/ tricky complex to restore  fix the saddle and I was in a hurry, so I left the saddle as it was and pushed my bicycle to the bakery.

to go to a bakery while pushing the bicycle.


Complex- more of a literary adjective. I wouldn't use it to describe this action. 

The sentence had become too complex with ´to go to a bakery´, and it also sounded like the 'subject' was unclear (who is going to the bakery? the saddle?) 


However again, in front of the bakery, I felt impatient as I found that I was not able to remember how to use its lock.

I left the bicycle unlocked and went into the shop while feeling that something mystifying had happened.

I went out the bakery a I left the bakery and I saw the bicycle standing in front of the shop.
As I was approaching it, a new idea came to me; to assume that that bicycle was not mine.

That idea resolved all my doubts.
Then, the more I looked at it the more of a stranger to me it looked to me.


better: the more strange/unfamiliar (adj.) it looked to me.

I had to go to church again to confess. :-(


Interesting and funny story. Good use of tenses for the most part. Well done.
