I use bike work as a recovery from engineering work, review, organizational administration, meeting planning, household stress, political bombardment, and so on.Typically just me, the bike (or parts), the iPod, the stand and tools, and maybe a kittycat or raccoon (or more). It's destressing (most of the time) and as I complete each item I can see a tangible accomplishment in front of me that will either make my life or the life of someone else better.
