Two dampers are respectively coupled to the crank arms to impart a damping resistance during operation of the crank arms. Two positioning members are respectively movably mounted on the crank arms for selectively engaging into the locating holes of the positioning plates to secure the crank arms at a desired angle. Two spring members are sleeved onto the positioning members for forcing the positioning members into engagement with the locating holes of the positioning plates. Two levers are respectively pivoted to the crank arms for operation by the user to pull the positioning members away from the locating holes of the positioning members through a respective traction member.
