If the hammies are strained, they could be kicking off all kinds of compensatory tightness and other exciting goodies. (including referred pain)
A few piriformis stretches could be good, as could some gentle hamstring stretches.
Since a cyclist weightbears on the forefoot, and most orthotics are designed for hindfoot correction first, your running orthotics might not be adequate. But they certainly couldn't hurt to try in the bike shoes! If they don't seem to help with the pain (the lump will take a while) ask your orthotist to check you for a forefoot medial wedge for biking. (make sure to check BOTH feet to see if they need medial wedges!)
