For what it would cost a simple bow up against the alternator could give you enough armpits to get to a station. And there is nothing to stop some boffin inventing a unicycle charger to fit a back seat. Then the spare passenger would be the back seat driver too.
Typical usable human energy output is somewhere around 60W.
If the previous poster's 6KW average use figure is correct - and it feels somewhat low to me - that means you get approx 1 minute driving for every 100 minutes working (hard) at the alternator[1]. That is not viable.

[1] Yes, I am assuming zero losses. i don't think it makes any difference to the core problem...
