ABSTRACT:
Exercise equipment modified to provide improved mobility and convenient upright storage positioning. The exercise equipment has a restraint to immobilize a movable upper portion of the equipment relative to a stationary base component such that the equipment can be safely oriented in an upright position without sudden movement of the upper portion of the equipment. To facilitate grasping the apparatus, a new receptacle is created for the handlebar at the rear of the equipment such that the handlebar is detached from its in-use receptacle and mounted in a new receptacle parallel to the long axis. This new handlebar orientation also reduces the width of the apparatus, thus making it easier to move through doorways, and making it taller rather than wider when tipped forward to an upright position. Wheels are mounted on a bar parallel to the floor and perpendicular to the long axis of the apparatus. The wheels do not touch the ground unless the apparatus is tipped forward to an upright position. Finally, adjustable length feet mounted on the front of the apparatus but separate from the wheels form a stable surface on which the apparatus may balance.
