I know that it is considered a bad practice to commit generated files to a git repository. But how to deal with bower?
Currently my library is built into a dist/ directory which gets ignored by a .gitignore file. I don't want generated files pushed to the repository. The problem is that the library is also distributed as a bower component.
How can I reference the generated assets into my bower component when a new version got released? Should I create another repository to store those files? Should I commit those files to the git tagged version?

You've already mentioned your choices. There aren't really a best way. Choose what you prefer. Either create a new repo or commit the /dist folder. Both have upsides and downsides. Creating a repo makes it more cumbersome to update and committing makes the repo more bloated.
The Bower team is working on a way to publish releases to a server, which will resolve this issue.

I would like to challenge the idea that committing built files is a bad practice, and I do that in this question.
