I agree; you really try to avoid braking on a bike so the opportunities for energy capture are limited.

You might presumably use the flywheel as a power booster for acceleration after waiting at a light but, other than as a way of bypassing a power limit on electric motors for bicycles, I think electrical assistance with an externally charged battery will be superior.
