Good point for the muscle groups involved. Maybe you could bike for cardiovascular health, and for muscle training add some squats (a simple complete workout would be push ups, pull ups and squats, pull ups require a bar though but it's a very useful investment for your back in the long term)

Cardio is the sole reason I do indoor biking. I was very sick and couldn't do much, so I tried having mild biking effort as a way to rehabilitate my heart.
I used to do exactly what you suggest: bike + full workout. I liked it a lot, but it's not integrated as in a sport. It was odd for instance, I had much more "power" than ever, so much that I couldn't run anymore because my thighs were too strong and I had to relearn how to land my foot otherwise I'd miss the ground.
