ABSTRACT:
A dual action stationary exercise cycle providing independent upper and lower body exercising capability. The cycle, in one embodiment, provides a foot actuated lower body exercising apparatus including multi-sprocket, multi-chain, freewheel, flywheel resulting in a high ratio of flywheel rotation per pedal cranking. Also embraced in the lower body exercising device is an adjustable braking apparatus communicating with the flywheel to provide variable resistance to flywheel rotation which in turn varies the pedaling force required to propel the flywheel. The upper body exercising component of the cycle incorporates a handlebar assembly wherein the handlebar is rotatably connected to a stem and coacts with a variable resistance, piston-cylinder which imparts a force resistive to rotational movement of the handlebar in either the forward or the rearward direction or independently to both forward and rearward directions.
