An important part of the 'experience' of doing yoga (or becoming a yogi) is the interaction you have with others. Furthermore, it's really useful to have an instructor guiding you on your flaws and where you can improve.
With that said, I highly recommend taking up yoga as a complimentary exercise to cycling. In fact, I think they go hand-in-hand with each other, since attention and control of the breath is crucial to 'performing well' between both activities. Plus, it seriously does improve your flexibility, which in turn will help you achieve better form on the bike.
Good luck!

That said, point me to any activity that ISN'T improved through control of the breath. Increased oxygen supply to the muscles through correct, controlled breathing comes to mind. Yoga teaches diaphragmatic breathing, if I understand it correctly (not a yoga student here), a good practice in any aerobic activity.
