Abstract: A force measurement device has a motion dampening device having at least two ends. A first end is releasably engaged to a base frame and a second end is releasably engaged to a moveable member. A load cell is in communication with the motion dampening device. The load cell measures a force imparted by a user and the load cell registers the force to a display which depicts the registered force exerted by the user. A method for measuring the force a user imparts onto an exercise apparatus comprises the user imparting force onto a moveable member. The motion dampening device imparts a force substantially opposite to the user force and a load cell measures the force exerted by the user. The force is transmitted to a display wherein the display depicts the registered force imparted by the user.

Abstract: A bicycle with arm resistance exercise features incorporated into a handlebar portion comprises a frame, a pair of wheels, and a pair of pedals. The bicycle utilizes crankshaft-style rotatable handle bars which enable a user to exercise their arms while riding and steering the bicycle. The rotating handlebars include a tensioning mechanism to increase the difficulty of the rotation and further increase the complexity of the exercise.
