Scientific experiment concluded
I can now report with a 98 percent confidence interval that taking a week off to ride a bike is better than going to work. In addition, I have scientifically established, once and for all, that my headaches are work-related. However, despite fairly comparable amounts of sitting involved in both activities, work-related sitting has never required me to patch my butt with second-skin bandages, so, oddly enough, it is the leisure activity that proved to be more of a pain in the ass. (Feel free to peer-review.)
