Today, for the first time ever, there was a message waiting for me in the Mailbag They Should Invent:

"... a battery powered television that is powered by a child riding a stationary bicycle. Then you could let little Johnny watch as much TV as he wanted as long as he was peddling. We wouldn’t have such fat children." -C. McMullen



Given what I know about bikes and electricity, I'm pretty sure this is exactly right and will definitely work.
