Another possibility would be to have the bicycle connected to a generator/alternator to charge a battery. There are battery-operated sump pumps available.

Do you KNOW how much pedaling, and how hard it would be to pedal,would be required to run a sump pump? You need to do more research.

And you'd be in the dark with, perhaps, more important things to worry about (or at least OTHER things to worry about).
Get a solar panel or 4, a golf cart battery and an inverter/charger.
I would suggest a bilge pump instead.
