Abstract
The bicycle drive has a crank (1) and a sprocket (2). The crank carries an arm (6) and a stop (7) and the wheel has two stops (8) for receiving the ends of springs (5). The wheel also has a double bearing part (9) with two screws (10, 11). The first screw (10) adjusts spring force for weight and muscle power and the second (11) limits the crank travel, and hence the spring force. Varying forces exerted on the pedals vary the drive forces.
