I started commuting to work about four months ago, it's between 20 - 25 km each way depending
which route I take.

Before cycling I relied on weights and a run a couple of times a week to keep me in shape. TBH
I'm a squat junkie. Cycling five days a week, what's the best way to fit in a set of squats
once a week?

I'm not a sports scientist, nor am I at all qualified to say this (apart from ~10 years of almost
fulltime rowing training)

I'm going to take a guess and say Saturday morning (assuming you ride M-F). Weights (strength)
training, as with any training, is as much about recovery as it is the training itself. Based on
that, I'd say that you'd get more benefit out of it if you give your legs a chance to recover
from the weights. THe other option of course being doing them Sunday night, which would mean you
are better recovered for the training, and would certainly squat more, but I dont think you'd
benefit as much.
