Aseaströmmen, Bronze sculpture in Stora Torget, Västerås, Sweden.
The monument features eight bronze cyclists riding along a polished granite wall, with a dipper bird watching them from the wall's end.
Created between 1985 and 1989 by Bengt-Göran Broström, the sculpture represents workers cycling to and from the Asea electrical company during shift changes.
The cyclists' clothing styles span from the 1930s to 1950s, reflecting the industrial heritage and workforce culture of Västerås during that period.
The monument underwent restoration in 2021 due to cracks in the granite wall and was reinstalled on May 2nd with a subsequent reinauguration.
Local residents regularly decorate the bronze cyclists with scarves and other accessories, making the monument an interactive part of city life.
