Also, I gave you a vote because it was a very good question, and you tried to answer it yourself first. I know that you like to earn points, and I wanted to tell you that this is the way to earn points: by asking good questions rather than a lot of questions, and trying to answer them yourself first.

Keep working!

¡Muy bien, Tickl3r!

Me lo pasaba el día muy bien también. Me gusta montar mi bicicleta cuándo hace sol.

¿Qué te gusta más: montar bicicletas o nadar en la piscina?

¿Qué es tu pasatiempo favorito?

For Tickl and really new students, you could include your English for comparison. Bien hecho! - bandit51jd, Feb 26, 2013

I think it's :

Montar en bici ( bicicleta) but montar a caballo.

Small thing, well done!

There is not any "best" way to say this because it depends on the feeling you wish to impart - nuance. It also depends on how long the actions took place. For example: if you rode your bike all day, then "........... montando en bicicleta" and if you rode you bike just a portion of the day, then "........ y monté en bicicleta."

Assuming you rode all day: "¡Me lo pasé muy bien montando en bicicleta!" in response to a question about your day - and without being asked: "¡Me pasé el día muy bien montando en bicicleta!" These are not "the best ways" but just how I would say it.

Also note that

Me lo pasaba el día muy bien también

is redundant even for Spanish. "Lo" is not required because "el día" is already in the sentence; it´s the direct object - not indirect object.
