Bycycle "injury"...i think... help?
Question:
Answers:
It depends on what you actually did to it.
It sounds like you may have tweaked one of your hamstring muscles (below your butt, top back of your leg).
If you can walk on it with only limited discomfort than you will be fine. The best thing to do is to Ice it, Compress it (with an ACE bandage) and elevate the injury. elevate it so the injury is above the height of your heart.
For future reference, take a quick jog first and stretch out all your muscles before riding. This will help prevent these kind of strains.

I hope English isn't your first language.
It's "rode" not "rided" and "bicycle". Also, we don't say unmounted.
Anyway, just stretch and you'll be fine.
Ziggy,
if you just rode your bike for the first time
you will experience some stiffness,
one needs to start slow, not go long distances
until your muscles are used to biking.
Now if you wiped out make sure you wear a helmet
so if you do fall off you won't have a serious injury
I never heard of pain radiating to you back end.
if its on a cardio bike set it at a lower rate
until you can handle more
your muscles are saying you didn't exercise me
for awhile so go easy
for the first bit.
