I think it's also safety:

If you lift weights first and than do cardio, you'll be tired, and maybe won't run/bike as fast.

But if you do cardio first, you'll be tired for lifting. It's pretty dangerous to lift while you're already exhausted from cardio. I wouldn't want to squat after running 3 miles.
