Hey,
All of the advice given so far is very good. Being stronger is always a good thing.
However, for cyclists its probably not a question of "weak back" (well it is, so do more dead lifts) but a question of very strong (and now inflexible and shortened) hip flexors.
So the most important thing is to stretch them. So yoga is good because if you start with a basic Sun Salute your going to be stretching them in exercises 6, 14 (if you push your belly button upwards at the same time) 16, 19, & 22.
However its a good idea to do as many of these as possible, especially if you have a weak bitch back that cant handle a bit of a cycle haha.
