Bicycle Powered Sump Pump
 

Ron:

RH Is there a bicycle powered water pump available? A simple way to keep
RH the basement dry when the power goes off, if so.

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.

Bicycle Powered Sump Pump
 

Do you KNOW how much pedaling, and how hard it would be to
pedal,would be required to run a sump pump? You need to do
more research.

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.

I would suggest a bilge pump instead.
