A light workout on the bike may very likely help your legs recover faster. It gets blood flowing through the muscles and that brings nutrients in to repair the damage, and takes the by products you don't want there out. Just don't do it at a high intensity. Low tension and perhaps a slower pace.

Mine hurt for the same reason today but only in one leg.. So I just done a moderate walk for 17 minutes it actually stopped hurting during the workout.

if you don't have a foam roller you might wanna get one, use it on your legs, stretch, self-massage and do your bike it will help
