Your post is a little difficult to comprehend, why can't you just go out and cycle now?

i was just asking if there was any other way to build up core strength with out the bike?

running is good. 1/2hr minimum gentle jogging 3/4 times a week will do wonders for nearly all cyclists.

Try the cross trainer in the gym. When you go in reverse you can really feel the pull on the thighs. Also good for your stamina.

He said he doesn't have access to a gym!
The jogging is excellent, especially if you have some hilly trails near you and the dog will love it. Don't forget to stretch afterwards.

like this...

apparently it's done with magnets in the shoes

not to be confused with this, this is an invisible bike (you see, the cat has no shoes)....

Pack a backpack full of stones, cans of beans or anything else heavy.

Find a tall building with a stairway. Multi storey carpark, block of flats, lighthouse etc.

Walk up the stairs two steps at a time at your regular cycling cadence... and don't forget the backpack.

If you're any good at carpentry, make a stepmill. It looks like a hamster wheel, but bigger and has a brake.
