The best I've come up with is doing as much bike riding as I can. I set a 40 mile / week goal for biking, across MTB'ing, road biking, and (if called for due to weather, etc.) pedaling on the stationary bike at the gym.
The nice thing about this for me is that I genuinely enjoy biking so it (usually) doesn't feel like a "chore" to go riding. And I have the good fortune to live about 2 miles from the trail-head for a set of MTB trails that I ride a lot, and about 2 miles from another trail-head for a series of gravel roads that make for a good workout. So I don't have to go too far out of my way to get MTB miles in. And if I want to go road riding, I can just carry my bike downstairs, hop on, and go.
Cutting edge? I don't know about that, but this pattern is what I've settled into.
