Or hook it up to a flywheel with good inertial mass and a clutching mechanism.

On the pedal powered washing machines -  I would think that they use a 
bicycle with several gears, so that they can start up slowly in a low gear 
and change to higher gears as speed increases.  This would make it easier to 
pedal especially in the spin phase.
