An easily-assembled bicycle for use by bed-ridden persons is provided. In
an embodiment, the present invention is capable of being used in
conjunction with both adjustable and non-adjustable beds or other person
support. The present invention allows for hand or leg exercises or
simultaneous hand and leg exercising (pedaling). In an embodiment, the
bicycle includes an anchoring base unit, a top-side unit, a foot-pedal
unit and a hand-pedal unit. Use of the present invention allows
bed-ridden persons to exercise without depending on health-care workers
and helps avoid the serious negative health consequences associated with
lack of physical exercise (e.g., loss of muscle strength, calcium
depletion, pulmonary embolism and bed sores).
