PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide bicycle apparatuses for repetitive use in automotive testing.SOLUTION: An embodiment includes a torso 12a and a pair of legs 12f, 12g. Each leg 12f, 12g includes an upper portion 18 and a lower portion 20 pivotably connected to each other. An upper drive pivotably drives the upper portion 18 of each of the pair of legs 12f, 12g about a first pivot point disposed on a bottom portion of the torso 12a. A lower drive pivotably drives the upper portion 18 with respect to a corresponding lower portion 20 of the leg 12f, 12g. The upper drive and lower drive work in concert to articulate the upper and lower portions 18, 20 of the leg 12f, 12g to replicate a pedaling motion.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
