This is what I was going to suggest. Great idea. I work with a guy who does this. As a side note: Cycling by itself is not the solution to long term health unless you combine it with other activities/exercises. I'm not trying to imply you would be unhealthy if all you did was cycle, but you would be much better off if you combined cycling with other activities that use the muscles cycling doesn't. It's is a bit of yin-yang. For every push you should do a pull. Otherwise, latter in life you will/might develop an out of balance muscular skeletal system. Ask me how I know. Thank goodness it is correctable. I'm only mentioning this for one reason: (1) that cycling doesn't become a burden for you and that you can still feel good about yourself when you can't ride, and instead come home and do some push-ups, squats, lunges and most importantly ... stretch.
