I'm currently recovering from a back/shoulder injury - I can't sit in the car for more than a few minutes without intense pain, but reasonably comfy on the bike.
Heh - yesterday I spent nearly all day working on the bike, and when I came inside, was amazed to find I was almost completely pain free. Dunno what I did - maybe it was just really relaxing and good exercise.
