As for treadmill, that's a no go for me. I severely injured my knee in highschool playing football so running causes issues.
Anything else I am good with. I prefer the bikes because its less impact on my knee.
In a whole, yes I would like to work on the overall picture not just one area but I figured I would focus on something and go from there.

Well I'm by no means a personal trainer or anything, but for me, I do cardio post weights because the school of thought here is to burn off the "excess" fat after a workout, I've forgotten where I've read about this but it was a while ago. Plus it's also a mental thing to try to muster up the energy to run after doing weights (I run like 6-7k after working out for an hour, probably not a good idea anyway lol).
But like what the guy above me said, bikes are either for ci-lais or morbidly obese people. Since you're an athlete don't you want more "movement" in your cardio? When my right foot/knee used to hurt (bball injury), I would go on the elliptical, you might want to try that out, it sure beats the bike.
