No
Love the bike, just finding time sorting the day is hard at the moment. I don't like doing cardio later at night and get more bang for my buck from kettlebell and bodyweight workouts when time is limited.

I could cut out guitar practice but that along with exercise keeps me sane LOL

Maybe you could combine things - pedal the bike while you practice your guitar picking?
