I don't know how people can work out staring at a TV or listening to music without actually moving. I can do it once in awhile (I have a recumbent exercise bike in my computer room), but it takes a great deal of motivation to get me through it. The nice thing about riding a bike is that you only have to make up your mind to ride out to your destination. Then the only way back is to keep riding.
Oh, and for the pumps - get both a CO2 and a hand pump. Depending on the required pressure of your tires, the hand pump can be pretty tiring (no pun intended) to use. CO2 pumps are fast but they're not very precise. They're both cheap - you can pick up a decent hand pump, CO2 pump and spare cartridges for less than $50.
