Does running and bike riding work the same muscles?

Heya everyone.

I realize that running and bike riding are both going to work the legs, but I was wondering if the two activities will work different parts of the legs, or are they both doing the same thing?

I ask because I run two miles or so every day, but was wondering if also riding a stationary bike at night (when I have energy but it's too late to go out), would possibly excersize different leg muscles, or if running and biking work the same portions of the leg?

Furthermore, I am not running to develop my legs (I'd lift weights to do that), but I figure if biking and running target different parts of the leg, I may be able to run and bike on the same day without really fatiguing a specific area.

Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated. Apologies if I made this more complicated than it needs to be.
