I have a distinct suspiction that that mysterious [b]сов
Ramil's guess is great. I think the entire sentence should be so then:
У вас можно _пользоваться велосипедами?
Because "использовать" requires an accusative: использовать велосипеды. But your variant sounds much more closer to велосипедами.

Thanks. As for в / во, admitting that Grammar just tries to put into a book what million people talk :!: and so, what matters is what people says, I see that во is used "before words beginning with two consonants: во дворе, во сне, во взгляде". So, how can I understand "в спортивном..."?. By the way, I hear it now very clearly so pronounced by the speaker: в c.... The omission of "o" has a wider use before "words beginning ..." or is reduced just to this word?. Thanks again.
Well, this rule just doesn't work always... I really don't know why.Quote:
во is used "before words beginning with two consonants
Neither do I. Sometimes you use different forms of в/во even before the same consonant combos. "Я видел его во плоти", но "Я увидел дыру в плотине". "Во сне", но "В снегу". "Во дворе" и "во дворце", но "в дверях". Actually, in most cases you use "в" even before two or three consonants. The only hard and fast rule I can think of is that you ALWAYS use "во" if the following word begins with "в" or "ф" immediately followed by another consonant: "Во взгляде, во Флориде, во времени, во Франции". Phrases like "во сне" и "во дворе" are very common, and I think that use of "во" in them is traditional rather than due to that two-consonant "rule."Quote:

I agree, using 'во' "before words beginning with two consonants" is not a strict rile. There are hundreds of examples against it: в шкафу, в груди, в кресле, в правилах, в кровати, в словах, в клетке, в бреду, в драке, в строгости, etc.
So that probably means only that you can't use "во" before words beginning with one consonant or a vowel, nothing more.
PS. Sometimes "во" can be used in these phrases too, but it makes them sound intensely pompous or outdated, like you're an ancient merchant or chronicler.

There must be ( somewhere ... ) a list of allowed consonant clusters, so that if "в**" cluster of 3 letters is allowed, it is allowed in any context, and there is no need of using "во" instead.
