A warm cycle around London last week, which mostly reminded me how poorly
thought through much of the cycle infrastructure is in certain boroughs:
coming off a road into a “dual use” pedestrian/cycling area in a busy shopping
area is a dreadful bit of street design,
Over the past few weeks I’ve been struggling with a mix of back and
(eventually) shoulder pain which is part stress but also part my desk setup,
Step 1 was to replace the old IKEA chair I had (this is a good chair;
just not for my needs) with one from the office: I now have an Aeron
and this made a huge difference,
Step 2 was to get a standing desk — something I’ve wanted for years — and so
I now have one of those (there’s a picture below),
After a long day, it does seem to have helped a lot. My big hope was to get
to the end of it and not feel so tired and so far, that’s worked out!
