ABSTRACT:
Manually powered propulsion apparatus for propelling a cycle includes two pedals which move along parallel linear tracks. A flexible member forming an endless loop is connected to the two pedals to raise a pedal when the other is depressed by a cyclist. In addition, each pedal is connected to an endless flexible member extending around one of a pair of rotatable crank member. Rotation of the crank members results in a propelling force being applied to a wheel of the cycle.
