Workspace riser for exercise equipment

An adjustable height workspace comprising:

• a base forming a bottom surface;
• a first handlebar mount on the bottom surface;
• a second handlebar mount on the bottom surface spaced from the first handlebar mount;
• a work surface platform;
• a height adjustment mechanism connecting the work surface platform and the base, the height adjustment mechanism including:
• a set of pivot arms including a first pivot arm and a second pivot arm that connect at a scissoring pivot point creating a scissoring motion when raising and lowering the work surface platform to various heights;
• a base pivot point fixed relative to the base and connecting a first end of the first pivot arm to the base;
• a platform pivot point fixed relative to the work surface platform and connecting a first end of the second pivot arm to the work surface platform;
• a first sliding mechanism between a second end of the first pivot arm and the work surface platform;
• and
• a second sliding mechanism between a second end of the second pivot arm and the base;
• and
• a locking mechanism that holds the work surface platform at various vertical heights above the base, wherein the locking mechanism includes:
• a slider attached to one of the pivot arms;
• and
• a flexible frame forming a groove that receives the slider,
• wherein the flexible frame includes frame teeth and the slider includes mating slider teeth, wherein the slider teeth engage the frame teeth to hold the one of the pivot arms in position at any of the various vertical heights above the base.
