Abstract
A pedal assembly for a stationary bicycle having a foot receiving platform. The pedal axle is located generally aligned with the heel of the user's foot when positioned on the platform. A counterbalance weight system rearward of the foot opposes the tendency of the pedal to “push over” the axle due to the rearward position of the axle. The pedal assembly design allows the user to effectively exercise the entire gluteal muscle group while simultaneously providing the user the ability to achieve an effective cardiovascular workout.
