I'm not arguing for one thing over another - I do both so that would be fairly stupid. I'm just saying why it can also be useful in addition to on the bike stuff. Christ, you're touchy.

"Specificity. If you've only got time for one, then definitely on-the-bike is better.
I've been adding back some strength training recently, not because I think it gives results (it might help but too hard to quantify) but because I enjoy it and it gives some balance to the stupid amounts of riding I do.""So much breeze on this page about strength training!"

Touchy? I'm just arguing. It's what the internet is good for.
You basically asked for an argument and then concluded by agreeing with what I said initially..

No shit. You missed the point though.
You're arguing for gym over bike work, I'm saying for everyone but track sprinters bike work is more effective and definitely more important than gym work.
Specificity is a KEY factor in training.
