A person cycling on an exercise bike can generate about 300w if they're very fit.

If they do that for an hour, they have generated 300wh = 0.3kwh, which is the equivalent of about 10 cents of electricity.
It's not worth it, except perhaps as a motivator to keep providing power to a tv you're watching while cycling.
