I can't tell if you're actually being sarcastic but I already do ride a bike. Everyday. Road miles at weekend, spinning classes generally twice a week, bmx.
I'm in the strength/weight training thread because I'd heard endless cardio isn't the be all and end all. Lots of people on this forum who also, actually ride bikes, also seem to think there's something in weight training, hence my questions here.
@Tenderloin @starfish&coffee and @JesperXT thanks for your actual helpful input. If you google "weight training for beginners" there's quite clearly endless amounts of info to look at. Having that info filtered by people who can comment on it's usefulness is much appreciated.

Sorry, yeah I was being sarky.
If you already do a lot of riding then I'd try and build core, lower back and leg strength simultaneously. Cyclists have crazy ham strings and that really puts a lot of strain on your lower back. Squats and kettle bell swings are a good way of developing all of these. -
Check out the IG account I said about - they post exercise videos which is helpful because I find I sometimes run out of new ideas. I've lost 9kg this year and a fair chunk of body fat from going to the gym 4 times a week at lunch and dont drinking beer anymore.
