ABSTRACT:
An exercise bicycle is associated with controllable apparatus such as potentiometers which provide an electrical signal based on the motion of the handlebars as well as signals proportional to the speed at which the bicycle is being operated at. These signals are interfaced with a typical microcomputer or video game machine which can utilize these signals to control the motions necessary to operate a video game. In this manner the apparatus generates five separate control signals one of which is indicative of the speed that the bicycle is being pedaled, the left to right movement of the handlebars as well as the forward to backward or up and down movement of the handlebars. There are associated with the handlebars two separate switches which can further be activated by the operator. In this manner the exercise bicycle is used to control and fully operate the video game thereby allowing a user to receive healthful exercise while participating in the skills necessary to play the video game.
