Do you KNOW how much pedaling, and how hard it would be to

RH I can't find any. It ought to be simple though.

Another possibility would be to have the bicycle connected to a
generator/alternator to charge a battery. There are battery-operated
sump pumps available.

And you'd be in the dark with, perhaps, more important
things to worry about (or at least OTHER things to worry
about).

Get a solar panel or 4, a golf cart battery and an inverter/charger.
