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.

for some real fun, watch this video of an Olympic cyclist generating 700 watts to toast a single slice of bread

be sure to note the size of his thighs
