RECUMBENT CYCLE WITH A SINGLE STROKE LINEAR PEDALING SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates generally to bicycles but more particularly to a recumbent bicycle using a single linear stroke pedaling system. This instant recumbent bicycle offers a unique single stroke linear type of pedaling wherein both legs protract and retract simultaneously so that a single push is made instead of alternating pushes. It consists of a frame and a sliding frame; ankle rests acting as pedals; a sliding frame sliding in relation to the frame; the sliding frame has a connector to conne ct the chain segment to the sliding frame; the chain segment wraps around a one way sprocket wheel with the connector pulling on the chain segment's upper part so as to induce rotation of a one way sprocket wheel; the one way sprocket wheel inducing rotation to a main sprocket wheel connected to the one way sprocket wheel; back moti on retraction of user pulls on lower part of the chain segment bringing the sliding frame back to its original position; tile main sprocket wheel acting like the standard forward sprocket wheel on a standard bicycle.
