Abstract
An exercise device with a crank housing supporting a pedal crank having a pair of opposing pedals that are pivotally mounted to the pedal crank. A first strut extends from the crank housing and is jointed to a second strut by a coupling that selectively allows the struts to rotate relative to each other so that the device may be folded into a planar configuration or extended and locked into place for use of the pedal crank. A cross-member is positioned at the end of each strut to form legs for supporting the pedal crank in an upright position. A strap may be coupled to one of the pair of legs for additionally securing the exercise device to an airline seat. A tensioner is associated with the crank housing for selectively increasing and decreasing the force needed to turn the pedal crank.

- a second strut interconnected to the first strut by a coupling that allows rotation of the first and second struts relative to each other;
- and
- a pair of members positioned at the end of the first and second struts, respectively, to define pair of legs for supporting the crank housing in an upright position.
