The Easy Rider Project!

Recently my brother in-law Steve asked me to keep an eye open for an exercise bike that he could easily use. The next day I came across a ProSport exercise bike for only $35! A few modifications and we were up and running! Read the story below. Click the pictures to zoom in.

Steve and Cubby.

Here is a picture of Steve. Cubby is shown with Steve. Who is Cubby??? Cubby belongs to our local Cub Scout leadership group. He came home with me for a month and was looking for some adventure.

The Easy Rider is shown after we dissasembled most of it. I don't have the original picture to show you.

Some of our hand tools we used on the project

Steve getting in position for me to set the new handlebar height.

Newly mounted handle bars. Note: the seat and the handle bars have switched there locations for the new design.

Side view showing how the Wheelchair docks with the Easy Rider.

The exercise computer was re-mounted in the reverse direction so it can be viewed by Steve.

Close up of the original machine title.

Resistance is still easily adjustable.

The rear seat post was removed with the help of my air tools to allow the Easy Rider to fit under a table. The post is shown here before we removed it

The Final Product!
