Alone in Rio on the weekend? Want to be occupied without doing much? Want to see Rio beach life?

Rent a bike in Ipanema and pedal all the way up to Gloria and back. Don't forget to take in Urca. It's flat, safe (95% bike paths) and very cool; you'll need about four hours if you take it easy (how else?); you'll see a great cross section of Rio people and the view on the way back is quite different from the view on the way there.

Lonely Planet suggests two or three places. It cost me less than 10 quid.
