Hi BigJ
Ive just wrapped up my bike trip in Rio last month, Im now living in Rio, currently looking for work.
When will you arrive? It would be good to meet up. Unfortuately I live outside of the city center, so it wouldnt be a great place to stay if you are short on time, but you are welcome to park your bike here. PM me.
Whatever, a great thing to do here is visit a samba school on a Saturday night. My recommendation is Mangueira - starts a 11pm and finishes well into the next morning.
Edit - you can ride your bike up to Corcovado (Cristo Redentor) - go to the helipad for a great view of the statue, visit the statue, then ride around park behind it.
