Someone pointed out in a thread here a couple of months back that some weight lifting is a good idea for cyclists, since cycling is not a weight bearing/resistance exercise by itself, or words to that effect. I had thought then that it would be good to incorporate some weights, most opinion I have heard over the years says you need some weight resistance exercise for bone strength as you age. I surely could not entertain the idea of doing both at the same output level-do most cyclists train with weights, or is this an odd combination for most of them? Apologies if I'm OT a bit, but it all seems related.
