ABSTRACT:
An exercise apparatus that simulates uphill cycling where the user is able to maintain a preferred standing posture while programmed pedal platforms supporting each foot move through an exercise cycle that includes translating and non-parallel angular motion generated by a linkage mechanism. Simple harmonic load resistance acting upon the linkage mechanism is provided by drag pulleys or viscous damping cylinders for high intensity cycling exercise without dead center rotary crank problems.
