A mechanism for a pedaled vehicle such as a bicycle. The drive mechanism includes a first and second pedal connected to a first and second pedal guide. The first and second pedal guide are movably situated in parallel interior tracks. The tops and bottoms of both pedal guides are connected by a first and second chain. The first chain runs over a single first idler gear. The second chain runs over a first free-wheel, a bottom idler gear, and a second free-wheel. The first and second free-wheels convert the linear motion of each pedal and pedal guide into a unidirectional force that is applied to a drive shaft.
