What muscles does biking work the most?

Question

I'm going to a bike camp this summer that goes 400 miles biking on the roads and highways. I'm trying to improve my leg muscle strength for Cross-Country and Track next year. What are the major muscles that this much biking will build up?

Answer 1

Biking works almost all muscles in your legs as well as some in your arms and torso; but the main muscles biking works are your Quads(thighs), Hamstrings(back of your thigh), and Glutes(butt).

Answer 2

Your leg musles

Answer 3

That Sophomore Guy above has a good answer (I'm always baffled by the Glutes reference!)

Can I just mention, that your heart  has a good work out too!!

Answer 4

Your Quadriceps (front part of your thigh) and your hamstring (back part of your thigh)
