Here's something that worked for me, but I did it off of the bike first. Whenever I was walking, I practiced deep breathing. It go so I could breathe without reference to the rhythm of my walking, and when I got on the bike, I was able to breathe without reference to the rhythm of my pedaling. I believe this keeps me pretty well oxygenated.
