This useful article published today — even though it is aimed at the employee office worker — applies almost across the board for those of us working from a home office. Personally, I converted an antique buffet into a standing desk (while doing some Walter Mitty style fantacizing that I was echoing the practices of Hemingway, Churchill, Bismarck, and Dickens), and set up a street bicycle on an indoor training rack with a rim-drive training rack (the resistance rollers grip the wheel’s rim instead of rubbing on and wearing down the tire rubber), so in a few seconds the bike is convertible from training to street use or back.

That article is completely consistent with this Feb 2013 discussion of those same hazards:

Then there’s this outstanding article on the history and use of stand-up desks:
