Is it possible to disengage the handlebars so that as the bike is pedaled the handlebars don't go back and forth. For the time being I can pedal only.

It looks like you can take off that bar that runs from the pedals to the handle bars.

No. The handle bars are directly connected to the pedal motion. You don't have to use the handles though, you can just pedal and be hands free but your handle bars will be moving.

I guess you technically could do that but it would require leaving the handles unbolted from the pedals

No, the handlebars do not move at all. I prefer it myself. And as far as the overall bike goes, it is very sturdy and reliable. I've owned a ProForm before and that's why I got this one. The exercise programs that come included are very good and you can do your own. You don't even have to use a program but sit on it and pedal away. I enjoy mine and use it every day. There is never a problem with it that I have encountered.

Yes and no. You can if the bike is firmly secure and doesn't "pivot." But if the bike "pivots" or leans to the inside then the pedal will hit. All in all, I would answer that Yes you can pedal it fine. I will be honest. I bought this rack for general repairs and I absolutely love it. I would highly recommend it for general maintenance and cleaning. The only addition I made was buying the Park handlebar stabilizer. That comes in super handy to hold the handlebars in place.

Yes. That's what I do. It does it all. I mounted to a post tho so not 100% your handle bars will clear (if mounted to a wall). I have a support post floor to rafters (4x4) that mine is lag bolted into. Measure your bars center of stem to end to make sure the mount is long enough to accommodate...

They are not adjustable. I am also short (5'1)and find it only slightly inconvenient. It's also quite practical just to sit on the bike and pedal and not bother to hold on to the handlebars. Ideally I'd like it if the handlebars were either adjustable or not leaning so far forward to begin with, but I am still making good use of the bike.

No, not with the parent handlebar but this bar can be installed and unattached very easily.

Yes. The handlebar holder is detatchable and can be attached in whatever way helps hold the bike in the position you need.

Hello JoeyWit, In answer to your question regarding the handles on the Body Rider Fan Bike, I'm afraid that unfortunately, it is not possible to lock the handles as they are attached to the pedals and they move in conjunction with that motion. I have found though, that it is not difficult to let go of the handles and pedal the bike without holding on. I hope this helps. Take care and Merry Christmas! :-D

Not that I know of unless you havevtried to take the seat and handlebar off..

Yes, they are like a bicycle gooseneck and could be easily removed if necessary. I just received your message this morning and am at work so I can't measure exactly but I am pretty sure you should be all set to clear with the handlebars removed or laid down.

I doubt it. I think that if one did pedal in reverse it would defeat the purpose of the left hand thread on the pedal bolt, and it will keep on loosening.I've had success with it so far. But I'm going to put a bracket or something on the pedals to stop my feet from sliding up.

There is no brake...... there's one button on the right handlebar...... u press it and it goes and wen u release the button it stops...... it doesnt travel fast enough to need a brake

No the handlebar is not adjustable. This makes it more secure. My kids had the ones that allowed you adjust it and started complaining because it would always come loose on them.

Another option is to drill a small hole in it and attach a string that is long enough to reach the handlebars. That way you won't forget and drive off without it.

Yes, these shifters clamp to the handlebar. They do work very well; I prefer them to indexed shifters for casual riding and reliable, easily "tuned" shifting (to eliminate noisy misalignment common to indexed shifters that aren't tuned perfectly).

I don't think you could. They can still turn the handlebars, and there's a little give in the steering, so it would be hard to do two at once. Every so often my son pulls the handlebars and goes veering off while I'm pushing him (usually into my husband).

Yes! .. I have done this. However, you have to be careful. The "Flywheel" is heavy and will continue forward motion when you want to stop pedaling. Practice slowly until you feel comfortable in doing that exercise. Tension can be adjusted on the flywheel.
