   Not to worry. Bicycle power generation is a nanoscopic market.   
      
   In my yout, I actually tried to maintain ~70 W into a   
   bicycle crank over an extended period of time. Best I ever   
   did consistently was about 30 minutes. Then I was All Done.   
      
   I could not have done that unless I was in the breeze   
   of my trusty *90 W* fan.  :)
