Benefits of technology

The invention is a device that allows people to exercise their upper body by using a bicycle with pedals. It consists of a handle, a removable pedal attachment, and a spacing element between the handle and the pedal attachment. The device is affordable, can be used with different types of bicycles, and allows for a smooth transition between upper and lower body exercises. It can maintain a high heart rate during the transition. Overall, the device provides a cost-effective and versatile way to achieve upper body exercise.

Problems solved by technology

While efficient at maintaining or enhancing the cardiovascular system of the cyclist, and also in stimulating the musculature of the lower body, stationary bicycling is relatively inefficient at exercising the upper body.
However, these bicycles are typically relatively complex and relatively expensive.
This is inconvenient for many users who perform stationary indoor cycling sessions by propping their own road or mountain bicycle on a suitable stand.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]With reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, there is shown an exercise device 10 for allowing performance of an upper body exercise by an intended user having a hand (both not shown in the drawings) using a fixed bicycle (also not shown in the drawings) having at least one pedal 12, shown schematically in FIG. 3 detached from the exercise device 10. The bicycle can be a dedicated stationary bicycle or a road or mountain bicycle propped on a suitable stand. Typically, the bicycle include a pair of pedals 12, each of which is provided with a suitable clipless attachment mechanism for attaching thereto a complimentary pedal cleat secured to a shoe (all not shown in the drawings). Such pedals 12, clipless attachment mechanism, cleats and shoes are well known in the art and will therefore not be described in details herein.

[0018]The exercise device 10 includes a handle 14 graspable by the hand, a pedal attachment 16 removably attachable to the pedal 12 and a spacing element element 18 extendin...

Abstract

An exercise device for allowing performance of an upper body exercises by an intended user having a hand using a fixed bicycle having at least one pedal. The device comprises: a handle graspable by the hand; a pedal attachment removably attachable to the pedal; and a spacing element extending between the handle and the pedal attachment.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to the general field of exercise and is particularly concerned with an exercise device for the upper body attachable to a bicycle.BACKGROUND[0002]Stationary indoor cycling is a popular activity. This activity can be either performed alone or in group indoor cycling classes. While efficient at maintaining or enhancing the cardiovascular system of the cyclist, and also in stimulating the musculature of the lower body, stationary bicycling is relatively inefficient at exercising the upper body. Therefore, either the indoor cycling participant will neglect his upper body, or he will have to perform other exercises for the upper body.[0003]Stationary bicycles including handles that can be moved using the hands, also named upper body ergometers, have been proposed. However, these bicycles are typically relatively complex and relatively expensive. In addition, they require a dedicated device. This is inconvenient for many users who ...
