Wow lots of ideas heh. Perhaps you're right, my idea for an all in one omni-cycle might be too ambitious and not very realistic. The reason why I didn't want to build a separate exercise bike generator was because the cost vs. gain in terms of savings on power was pretty insane... something like 50-100 years of using it for an hour every single day until it paid for itself, green yes, economical no. Now if that cost was for a daily use electric vehicle that could double as a pedal powered generator in its spare time, that gives it a much different cost effectiveness in my mind.
