You know, I've never thought about that. I love riding, especially after a stressful day.. but I never really articulated this reason. It's so true. You can't do everything you need to in order to not die (scan, watch for idiots in their boxes, come to a stop and put your feet down, even lean considerably into a corner) with any other thought preoccupying your mind. I've definitely come home from a ride totally ..blank, in a good way.
Other than that, the destress I always use (because it works everytime) is video games. I'm ridiculously good at games of all genres, so its always an ego boost to trounce the newbs, and that's exactly what I need to stop stressing.
