Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus, system and method for reducing the size of portable rotary motion exercise devices. Flexible materials in contact with the user or a piece of furniture is part of the connection between the user and the exercise device. Multiple wraps of a band around a shaft provide adjustable rotational resistance.

Abstract: Each end of the axle of the front wheel of a bicycle is connected with a pivot to a support arm. These two support arms are substantially parallel to each other and substantially extend from the front wheel axle area to a distance behind the front wheel. Behind the front wheel, a cross bar connects the support arms together utilizing pivots in the connections. Behind the first cross bar, a second cross bar connects the support arms together utilizing pivots in the connections. The center of both of these cross bars is connected to the frame of the bicycle through a pivot. The two cross bars and the axle of the front wheel are substantially parallel to each other. The axial axis of the pivots are all substantially parallel to each other, with the axial axis of the pivots being reclined nominally 20 degrees in the rearward direction from vertical. The pivots used in the connections permit the angle to vary between a support arm and the axle of the front wheel.
