Will bicycling improve my running speed?

What if I bike extremely fast everyday for a month, would I be faster next month? Im 15 and I can do 100m sprint in 13 seconds and something. I want to run faster.
 
I incorporated bike sprints into my daughter's track workout and it did help build some leg strength and increase speed.

On the other hand, I think 13 seconds is too slow for a 15 year old to be running the 100. Your future sounds like distance. Start running some miles in preparation for the potential that you may be too slow for the sprints. The half mile is a great race. So is the mile.
 
bicycling is not the best work out for a runner, especially a sprinter. You should try running 200m sprints x 6-8. or, you can try running 100m, then 200m, the 400m, then 200m, then 100m. this will improve your stamina. don't stop in between but walk or jog for about 6-10 minutes. but you shouldn't sprint all in one go. do you regularly sprint or is this your first time? And you should deffinatly NOT run or work out everyday. you need atleast one resting day.
 
everyday is not good. u want your muscles to heal before the next intense workout, and yes it HAS to be intense. it needs it burn. moving at a fast pace doesn't mean anything without the burn. try squatting with heavy weights. stronger muscle = higher top speed.
