Sustained output at this level would be very hard work. If you're thinking of generating power yourself this way it's probably something to think better of (unless you cycle hard a lot?)
100 W - biomed: approximate basal metabolic rate used by the human body[3] 500 W - biomed: power output of a person working hard physically 909 W - biomed: peak output power of a healthy human (nonathlete) during a 30-second cycle sprint at 30.1 degree Celsius.

No, unfortunately it cannot. I once tried a bike generator hooked up to a 60 watt lamp and it wasn't too easy. I doubt that a normal non-steroid abusing bicyclist can do this.

you might be able to do so, but you need to have a big flywheel and lots off gears(up to the point that you can barely get it started)

Yes, it's possible. Wikipedia says:

500 W - biomed: power output of a person working hard physically
909 W - biomed: peak output power of a healthy human (nonathlete) during a 30-second cycle sprint at 30.1 degree Celsius. [4]

. The generator may be able to, but humans can only put out about 150-200 W.

No. Not if a human is powering it.
