I can tell you the answer for a road bicycle. Every single muscle gets developed with one exception - the abdominal area. I don't think you will ever get as good a workout on a stationary bike, but the principles remain the same.

The exercise bike when used right can be a benefit for the lower body. In particular, the glute muscles as well as the quadriceps and hamstrings typically get the most benefit of it usage. Overall, cardio health is the best benefit of a good exercise bike ride.

∙ 13y agoFrom my experience, bike riding targets the quadriceps most heavily, but also works out your calves, hamstrings, lower back and triceps to various extents.
Mainly your legs, although your lower back also get part of the action. During hard climbs and technical riding (out of the saddle) shoulders and arms gets involved too.

You cannot really 'target' fat as such, so exercise on a bike will be food as you will lose fat if you do the right intensity workout.
