First Claim
1. A method of exercising by simulating different bicycle riding conditions on a stationary exercise bicycle, the stationary exercise bicycle comprising a frame having front and rear sockets and two V-shaped sections, one V-shaped section comprising two members converging to a point, the other V-shaped section comprising members converging to a different point, wherein the two V-shaped sections overlap along a member, the member including one of the sockets, a pedal assembly mounted to the frame, a seat adjustably mounted to the rear socket, a flywheel mounted to the frame and coupled to the pedal assembly via a chain thereby forming a dual chain tension device, and a handlebar adjustably mounted to the front socket, the handle bar including at least one handle that provides multiple gripping positions for a rider'"'"'s hands, the method comprising:
- riding the stationary exercise bicycle in multiple positions to simulate different bicycle riding conditions whereby the multiple positions include a standing position and a sitting position, wherein the dual chain tension device facilitates a smooth transition between sitting and standing riding positions, andgripping the handlebar in multiple gripping positions.
