  • Patent number: 6132341
    Abstract: A cycling exerciser includes a base having a seat post extended upward from the middle portion of the base. A pair of cranks are rotatably secured to the base at an axle for supporting a pair of foot pedals and for allowing the user to conduct cycling exercises. A handle is rotatably secured to the base and is coupled to the axle by unidirectional bearings and by a sprocket-and-chain device for allowing the handle to unidirectionally drive the axle and to rotate the cranks when the handle is rotated by the user. A spring member may be used for recovering the handle.
