Does biking at a slower pace tone you up?

[Odioshka]

I bike with my dog and therefore am unable to go as fast as I normally would the entire time. We normally go at a fairly slow, relaxed pace with several short bursts of all-out speed throughout. My legs to start to feel a bit tired by the end, but I've never gotten that muscle pain that you normally get after a big workout. Will cycling like this for about 45 minutes to an hour each day still help to tone up leg and butt muscles? I don't need to lose any weight, just build up a little muscle. So does this have any effect at all?

it seems as if it would-especially if u feel the pain/tenseness. Tone will come from building endurance so as the time extendsfrom 30min to 45 mon to an hr the tone 'possibility' will increase as well.
