ABSTRACT:
A dual actuation mechanism for controlling resistance applied to a rotating member includes a lever, a first actuator and a second actuator. The first actuator and second actuator are both operably coupled to the lever, wherein the first actuator and the second actuator move the lever independent of the other. For example, the lever may have a first slot for receiving the first actuator and a second slot for receiving the second actuator, wherein the first slot and second slot are sized such that when one actuator moves the lever, the other actuator is undisturbed because the respective slot moves with respect to the non-moving actuator. The dual actuation mechanism may be incorporated in an exercise cycle in which one of the actuators controls a level of resistance applied to a flywheel, and the other of the actuators selectively applies a stopping force to the flywheel.
