They do offer some spring riding - before the gates are open to car traffic but even now, the fall visitors have increased dramatically - lots of photographers coming to capture bull elks in rut.
Yes, there were a ton of people there when we were, even with a couple nights with lows in the 20s -- I was so glad to be in our motorhome and not in a tent, but there were many, many tenters. The days we rode our bikes (only 2 out of a full week there), we never saw any other cyclists on the road at all. The springtime is just too early for us to get there since we spend winters east, and we don't like cold weather. So, I doubt we'll be going back to Yellowstone. There are just too many other better places to ride and enjoy wildlife!
