The pedaling travel device is provided with attaching/detaching means for attaching/detaching the pedaling travel device to/from a conventional wheelchair. The attaching/detaching means is provided with an adjusting mechanism for fitting the height and width of the wheelchair and adjusting and fixing means for adjusting the position of a handle for operating the steering wheel forward and backward.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
