ABSTRACT:
An exercycle (10) having a generally continuous U-shaped frame (12) with two upwardly extending posts (14, 16) bridged by a substantially linear connecting portion (18) positioned closely to and paralleling the floor. A seat (24) is attached to the end of one of the posts (16) and handlebars (20) are secured to the end of the other post (14). Pedals (84, 86) are affixed to the seat post (16) between the seat (24) and the connecting portions (18) of the frame (12). A wheel (88) is disposed rearwardly of the seat post (16). A drive mechanism (91, 92) coupled between the pedals (84, 86) and the wheel (88) serves to impart rotational movement to the wheel (88) when the pedals (84, 86) are moved by the user. The exercycle construction provides an unobstructed passageway between the handlebars (20) and the seat (24) to facilitate easy mounting and dismounting of the apparatus by the user. The handlebars (20) and seat (24) are provided with unique adjustment assemblies that can be used without needing tools. Structure (64) is also disclosed for adjusting the pedalling tension.
