Chatty, we have stationary bikes in our building's fitness rm. but they are not sized for me. too big, so I will get hurt. However I have not used the other option of indoor cycling training, which is to ride one's own bike on training rollers, set up in living rm. or wherever. We haven't got enough space. So if I get myself disciplined I just do stretching floor exercises. Of course, not having a car means that if we don't bike, we must get around by walking and public transit. closest station is 15 min. walk away. So minimally, one must walk 1/2 hr. if taking public transit. Not a big deal. It's all downtown. Great that you have such interest for your group!

I agree cyclinggal that hiking is a nice complementary physical activity. Admittedly we don't do as much hiking, however we live about 1/2 hr. away or so by bike to walking/hiking trails that lead up through mountain areas. have you seen any photos of Vancouver? The city skyline backs directly against local mountains.

Celtic, somthin' tells me you will need to cycle more to de-stress preparation for that job interview. Cycle as much as you can each day, who knows your cycling opportunities might be suddenly curtailed if you get that job!
