Static pedalling fitness apparatus with lateral swinging
First Claim
1. Static pedalling fitness apparatus (1) for the performance of physical exercise by a user, which comprises a set of pedals (4) capable of turning with respect to a crank axle (23), a seat (5) and a handlebar (6), which is characterized in that it comprises:
- a fixed part (2), which presents no substantial movement with respect to the floor,a movable part (3), comprising the set of pedals (4) and the seat (5), and which may swing with respect to the fixed part (2), said swing taking place with respect to a turning axis (22) located substantially below the crank axle (23),where the handlebar (6) may swing with respect to an articulated junction (7) that connects the handlebar (6) to the fixed part (2) and/or the movable part (3), presenting a relative swinging movement with respect to the pedals (4) and the seat (5), presenting the swinging of the handlebar (6) with respect to the fixed part (2) an substantially greater amplitude than the swinging of the movable part (3) with respect to the fixed part (2).

Abstract
Static pedalling fitness apparatus (1) that, with great accuracy, simulates the real excercise of pedalling on a conventional road biclycle while standing up and swinging the bicycle sideways. For this purpose, the fitness apparatus (1) comprises a fixed part (2) which is basically unmovable with respect to the floor, a movable part (3) which is capable of swinging laterally with respect to the fixed part (2) and which includes the set of pedals (4) and the seat (5), and another tilting part that is the handlebar (6) of the apparatus (1). The handlebar (6) is capable of oscillating separately from the oscillation of the movable part (3), i.e. the handlebar (6) presents a relative swinging movement with respect to the set of pedals (4) and the seat (5).
