Stationary bike

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is, therefore, a principal object and purpose of the present invention to provide an exercise apparatus that accurately and dynamically simulates bicycling, and is of a simple design.
It is an additional principal object and purpose of the present invention to provide a stationary exercise bicycle apparatus that is easy to repair and maintain including the ability to disassemble the crank arm without disassembling the entire drive assembly.
It is another principal object and purpose of the present invention to provide a stationary exercise bicycle apparatus that provides a variety of users with an optimum seat position.
It is an additional principal object and purpose of the present invention to provide a stationary exercise bicycle apparatus that provides the user with a convenient method to adjust the position of the seat.
These and other objectives and advantages are provided by the present invention which is directed to a stationary exercise bicycle apparatus that is easy to repair and maintain and permits a more accurate and convenient adjustment of seat position.
The stationary exercise bicycle apparatus includes a frame that is adapted for placement on the floor, a resistance mechanism which provides a resistive force to pedals, a drive assembly, a drive belt connecting the drive assembly to the resistive force generating mechanism, right and left pedals, and an adjustable seat mechanism.
The invention can also include a data input means and a control means.
The data input means permits the user to input control signals.
The control means responds to the input control means to control the resistance member and apply a braking force to the pedals.
The user can thus control the amount of resistance offered by the pedals and so can vary the degree of effort required to move the pedals.
The invention thus can accommodate the individual needs and desires of different users.
