You'll build up leg muscles. It's an aerobic exercise, so it's conditioning your cardiovascular system.
Just be careful you don't overdo it at first. It can cause back pain, wrist pain, or seat pain.

Besides the physical exercise, you relax your mind so you are better off to take on other tasks(like a job, a girfriend) I bike ride and I feel better off after the ride than before the ride.

If you ride a bicycle for everyday transportation, you save on gas, parking fees, and car maintenance, it is good excercise, you can park directly in front of almost anywhere that you have to go, you can keep it inside in an average apartment or house and it is much better for the envioronment.

Aside from swimming, it is probably one of the best all round conditioners there is. Lower body build up, cardio build, and low impact UNLIKE running etc. Swimming does all that PLUS upper body build as well.

Toned muscle, improved circulation, better respiratory AND usually the scenery is excellent, compared to a speeding car.

Burns calories, increases cardiovascular fitness, and strengthens leg muscles without the pounding on the knees that occurs with running.
