Shark-
I would agree that DL and Squats are good for cycling, place appropriately in a routine. I definitely could benefit from some Posterior chain work, as I've been getting lower back pain a few hours into my ride (particularly intense racing or when wearing a Camelbak). I'm convinced it could be fixed with a good DL/squat routine, but lifting heavy right now isn't what's best for my training. I'm in search of a "core" routine instead (doesn't trash my legs). What I'm trying to say is-I agree with you.
