Or do you mean a Exercise cycle? My Orthopedic Surgeon fixed up a gadget that DH put on one of the walls in my room. I'ts rather a rowing thingy with a boom handle & heavy rubber. Because I have lost 55% of the movement in my neck I find that this kind of exercise is best for me. I can hardly walk at all, so walking as an exercise if completely out! But Boy, can I tell a difference if I don't row!!!!! Blessings to all, Marjorie L. Moorefield just another librarain [log in to unmask] Internet Communications of America, Inc.
