You are out of your mind like so many before you with the same idea or like Micheal Moore. You could not generate enough energy to make a fart or make a flashlight work for more than an hour of a few watt hours.

Bicycle as energy generator
It occurred to me that many stationary exercise bikes use the power generated by the person using it to power it's on board computer. Could the same principle be applied to supplement the power from solar panels? I'm thinking of getting a bike, modding it somehow yet to be determined (probably very similarly to a wind turbine) and hooking it up to a battery bank. Is there any reason why this wouldn't work? If it would work, it'll tap the biggest energy reserve in the world, our flabby guts!
