I can manage days on and off for the workout within the week.
You probably read that on a bodybuilding/fitness site. The reason that is advocated is because building LBM is more important to the author(s) than improving CV fitness. If your biking performance is more important than your lifting performance, then simply reverse the order.
As far as leg training goes, it kinda depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Without knowing that, the standard bodybuilding/powerlifting exercises are all good:
squats
front squats
deadlifts
stiff legs
ham curls
45* leg press
seated ham curls
extensions - could end up bugging your patellar tendon
