5x5 (I ran the Madcow's template) worked well for me when I wasn't riding. i If you're new to training definitely go with starting strength, or some type of linear programming. The gains come easy at first but it definitely becomes to hard to sustain the linear gains after a while.
I transitioned to 5/3/1 and had a lot of progress with that.
Once you're familiar with your lifts, recovery, strength, etc you can train a bit more intuitively, but when starting out it's very nice to have a solid program written out to follow.
