I do the forward tilt exercise when waiting for a traffic light to change, and the rest of them when off the bike.

That's fun. I've totally forgotten that in my 20s I used to do neck rolls religiously. I'd totally relax my neck, drop my head to its limit and very, very slowly rotate it all the way around a couple times. I'll start doing that again. That's very similar to the McKenzie stretches I've been doing for about a year, in that it's mostly about finding muscles which are holding and learning to release them.
I do push-ups for triceps pain, one set to exhaustion about every 3rd day. Works well.
