ABSTRACT:
A cycle exerciser having a wheel rotatably mounted on a frame and arranged to absorb energy applied to the wheel through a pair of foot pedals and/or a pair of handlebar levers. A pedal-driven main drive shaft is connected to a countershaft through a first speed-increasing chain and sprocket mechanism, and the countershaft is connected through a second speed-increasing chain and sprocket mechanism to the energy-absorbing wheel. The main drive shaft is connected through a one-to-one chain and sprocket mechanism to another countershaft enabling the main drive shaft and the other countershaft to rotate at the same speed. The handlebar levers are connected to a pair of drive crank arms which are secured to opposite end portions of the other countershaft.
