Bicycling: Yes it will. Bicycling has a # of health benefits. It is excellent for aerobic fitness. It works the quadriceps, gluteal muscles & hamstrings. It can often be performed safely when other weight bearing aerobic exercises might be contraindicated. It is good for weight loss &/or maintenance.
