This invention discloses a mechanism for propelling a bicycle through rectilinear reciprocation of the pedals. The mechanism includes a crank lever, which when forced by the drivers legs, pushes a drive arm that, in turn, rotates a drive wheel. The rotation of the drive wheel transmits a torque to the bicycles rear wheel via a gearing mechanism. A guide lever meanwhile maintains the proper position of the crank lever throughout its reciprocating cycle.
