Even if you were able to put out 250W for an entire hour of biking (someone in good shape), and with electricity at the 8 cents/kilowatt-hour I currently pay, you'd save a total of 2 cents (.25kW-hr * 8 cents/kW-hr).

It doesn't work like that. For you to bike for an entire hour would require an caloric intake of food far greater than 2 cents. So you would gen the value of 2 cents and consume the value of ten dollars.
