Abdominal work is an area that I have neglected in the past, but am not doing a lot of crunches and leg lifts. I think having a strong core will be beneficial in cycling.
By the way, I find weight lifting a much easier workout than cycling. I don't think there are many workouts as difficult as pedaling a bike up a long steady incline that goes on and on and on. Fortunately, I am addicted or I would have given up already.
