## Abstract

A foot and hand pedaled bicycle assembly that facilitates a full body working during riding includes a bicycle that has a front wheel, a rear wheel and a frame. The frame has a top member and a lower member that each pivotally extends between a seat post and a handlebar fork. The handlebar fork is urgeable toward or away from the seat post. A pair of pedals is provided and each of the pedals is rotatably coupled to the frame for rotating the rear wheel. A pair of hand cranks is provided and each of the hand cranks is coupled to the handlebar fork for steering the bicycle. Moreover, each of the hand cranks is in mechanical communication with the front wheel for rotating the front wheel when the hand cranks are cranked.
