Bicycling and lifting?

lyornThis year, I bicycle to work most days, for a daily total of at least 38 km (about 24 miles). It's easy going, level, good roads, not much wind, and good for my mood. Still it's two hours of exercise, and my legs are tired at the end of the day, despite 2300 km (1400somthing miles) of practise this year so far.
I haven't lifted much during the summer, and now really need to go back to the gym. But I don't feel like doing sqauts, lunges and deadlifts after a day's bicycling.
What to do? Commute by car one or two days a week and go to the gym on those days? Or just stop at the gym on the way home, and hope the muscles will sort themselves out? If the latter: Better reduce the weight on the leg exercises, or reduce repetitions?
