I would stay away from that if you are just cycling... try doing something like squats, no leg presses. If you are unsure(seems like it) then be extra cautious.. a lot of guys just go in to the gym and tear their knees apart pressing a thousand pounds.

Is there some reason you want todo hamstring exercises?

edit: yes, do upper body and core work... usually legs aren't a cyclists weak point.
