Not that it's noticeable. I do know my legs are stronger because I can maintain a constant pedal cadence now where I couldn't when I first started riding. Plus my avg speed has increased from 12-13MPH to 17MPH. But I don't think there is any more muscle mass in my legs than I had before.
That said, I don't do interval training or any other leg training other than just riding. I know you can train in such a way as to build leg muscle. I just don't do it.
