you don't necessarely need weight training.
How many people ride 300 pound bikes up 10% grade ?? . It's a recipe for disaster which will kill and destroy your knees...I much rather prefer deadlifts, squats , power cleans and plyometric jumps. I also commute on a fixed gear which provides more resistence then a freewheel bike.
