yes
Not after riding a bike, but rather during riding a bike. Your muscles convert chemical energy (a form of potential energy) into mechanical energy to do work.
You can use the formula for kinetic energy to verify the total kinetic energy (KE = 0.5mv2). Then, assuming all the energy is converted to (gravitational) potential energy, use the formula for potential energy, and solve for height. (PE = mgh)
Solar energy transfers to the biker, the biker transfers muscular energy to the pedals, the pedals transfer mechanical energy to the bike itself, the bike transfers mechanical energy to the wheels, and the wheels transfer friction energy to the road, and the bike (it's wheels) moves.
Wind Energys potential is that it generates electricity & and using wind to pump up water.
Potential energy is used on a daily basis to run hydro-electric dams, to ride a bike down a hill, or to sit down on the ground.
No, it's potential energy turning into kinetic energy.

If the pump pumps water, then it will increase the water's gravitational potential energy.
You can use the electricity to pump water up into a high reservoir, where it then has mechanical potential energy. Or store it in a battery - chemical potential energy.
No. On top of the hill the bike would have potential energy. If released, by letting the bike roll downhill, it'd turn into kinetic energy as the bike picks up speed.
chemical energy from food the rider has eaten gets turne into kinetic energy as the bike is moving. Then into potential energy as the bike heads uphill. As the bike heads down potential energy turns into kinetic energy.
You could for instance convert the nuclear energy to mechanical or electrical energy and use it to pump water up into a high reservoir, where it will have potential energy.

Chemical energy from food you've eaten turns into kinetic energy in your motion, potential energy in your elevation, and thermal energy in your muscles, bearings ASO.
