Claim:
An exercise apparatus, comprising: a frame configured to rest upon a floor surface; a beam having a first end portion, an intermediate portion, and an opposite, second end portion, wherein the intermediate portion is pivotally connected to the frame; a pedal assembly mounted on the first end portion; a seat assembly mounted on the second end portion, wherein the seat assembly includes a seat frame movably mounted on the beam for selective movement along the beam, and a seat pivotally mounted on the seat frame for selective pivoting relative to the seat frame to orient the seat relative to the frame independent of beam orientation relative to the frame; and an adjustable length member interconnected between the beam and the frame, and set at a first length to maintain the beam in a first orientation, with the pedal assembly and the seat assembly positioned to define a first, relatively more recumbent cycling configuration, and alternatively set at a second length to maintain the beam in a second orientation, with the pedal assembly and the seat assembly positioned to define a second, relatively less recumbent cycling configuration.
