If you are making 1000 ft lbs of torque at 100 rpm you are making 19.04 HP.
If you could make that RPM 2000 and the same 1000Ft lbs you would be at 380 HP on your bicycle. You would most certainly need to have a system of torque management for your peddles.
I will say this again. A engine makes it's greatest power at the point of a graph where the product of Torque and rpm is the greatest.
You can not measure HP. It is only a mathematical equation. A sales pitch.
