I do weight lifting (at home, I do not like gyms), because:
1. I really enjoy it.
2. There are some really great researched benefits regarding prevention of osteoarthritis, and almost total prevention of muscle loss by lifting heavy weights as you grow older.
3. I power walk because I enjoy the walking as another kind of aerobic exercise, and here it frequently is not good bicycling weather, but I have to get outside.
4. I ride the trainer for cardiovascular, and to keep my biking up.
BUt, if you are riding daily and putting in about 10,000 miles per year (as you recently stated), I would think that you are in excellent shape (better than 99.9% of the world), and I should would not worry about it. Especially if you do not enjoy it.
