What muscles does bicycling build?

Question

So, what muscles does bicycling build, and is it a good weight loss exercise? I practically live right next to a lake, so I sometimes ride around it. It's about 4 or 5 miles long and I usually go around 3 times (12-15 miles). So, I'm just wondering what muscles I am building......

Answer 2

Hip

Quad

Hamstring

Calf
