The hour record is held by Bradley Wiggins, and it's estimated he averaged 440 watts. For comparison, I'm reasonably trained, and could maybe hold that for 4 m

The hour record is held by Bradley Wiggins, and it's estimated he averaged 440 watts.
For comparison, I'm reasonably trained, and could maybe hold that for 4 minutes. I'm also considerably heavier!
I would guess that a random average adult male who doesn't neglect general fitness, but doesn't necessarily cycle, could put out 160w-220w for an hour if they were forced to.
60W is insanely easy tho, pretty much anyone without some sort of extreme physical limitation would be able to do that.
