I don't think it will hurt your explosive power unless you plan on stopping all volleyball training while cycling. I don't think sprinting on the bike will help your jumping ability a whole lot either, but plyometrics will. How about doing plyometric exercises after a bike ride (for warmup). Just a layman's suggestions. Anyone else?
