Thank you everyone for the suggestions!
Mat Pilates is also good for core strength, if you have access to one. I find that Yoga is too hard on my knees, but of course every "body" is different.

I didn't know that exercise balls are also called body balls, learn something new every day They are excellent for core strength exercises - with or without dumbbells. You might also want to look into agility and balance exercises, that will also help you on the bike and in general functional fitness.
