ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A pedal mechanism for exercising apparatus comprises a drive axle rotatably mounted on the exercising apparatus. The drive axle has left and right ends constituting pivotal connections on which the corresponding proximate ends of left and right cranks are mounted. A left pedal, mounted rotatable on the distal end of the left crank is provided with a system for attaching the left foot of a user person thereto. A right pedal, mounted rotatable on the distal end of the right crank is provided with the same system for attaching the right foot of the user person thereto. Left and right ratchet mechanisms are interposed between the respective proximate ends of the left and right cranks and the corresponding left and right ends of the drive axle. The ratchet mechanisms allow the transmission of rotational movement from the left or the right crank to the drive axle in one direction while leaving the left or the right crank free to rotate in an opposite direction to the drive axle. Accordingly, during use of the exercising apparatus, to achieve rotation of either the left or the right crank in one direction, the user person must apply force to the corresponding left or right pedal over 360° for each complete revolution of the pedals.
