I know it all comes down to goals... but my goals are to be stronger first.... get ripped later. So, I feel like not working my legs will take away possible gains.
Am I off base on this?

If you're not working legs at ALL doing ANYTHING, then yes, it's important to do direct leg work. However, if you're constantly challenging your legs with sprinting or bike riding, then it's not as essential to get leg work in. It could lead to overtraining, which will ultimately hurt all progress.
