Sunshine Bench View

For reasons as yet unknown to science, Nordic benches acquire powerful magnetic properties when exposed to extended periods of spring sunshine. Once you sit down, you're stuck.

One of the few ways to counter the magnetic power is to equip yourself with a bicycle and roll past said benches. Those of us who are rendered giddily immobile on the benches get to watch those riding past as they add a sense of poetry and music to our urban landscape.
