When I go to the gym you can usually find me riding a recumbent bike. The only problem is that every time I was riding it I was thinking about all of the other things I needed to be doing with my various businesses. I thought, “Wouldn’t it be swell if I could finish my computer projects and get exercise at the same time! Hmmmm.” So the seed was planted. I studied the recumbent bike, then searched the internet to find no one had developed my idea. People were even blogging that they wanted the same thing I was wanting to invent. I started sketching and got myself a provisional patent before contacting a product designer to make my vision a reality. From that point on I have been working with a local manufacturer to button up the design for mass production. Major design elements of the clamp, adjustable arms and tray will be changing in the next couple of weeks.
