Cyclists in international touring races cover flat ground pacing themselves and jockying for position. In a situation like this where these athletes are just spinning and making the pavement go by underneath the wheels, ball park their energy output at about half a kilowatt. That's about 0.5 kilowatts (500 watts) of energy just rolling. Remember that there is a lot of variability in what these cyclists are doing -- or can do. Additionally, there will be times when they put out much more than that, like in a sprint or a shorter time trial. If a top cyclist is riding for an hour at a solid pace, he's put out a half a kilowatt hour of energy.

How many kilowatts per hour does a flat screen tv use?

None. There is no such thing as a 'kilowatt per hour'. If, on the other hand, you are asking how many 'kilowatt hours' a flatscreen television uses, simply look at its nameplate to find its power rating in kilowatts (more likely, it's in watts, so you need to divide by 1000), and multiply it by 1 to find the number of kilowatt hours consumed over a period of one hour.
