Riding and Rowing Machine in One
Said to provide the healthy exercise of both rowing and horseback riding, a new machine, shown in use above, has hinged handlebars, foot rests, and seat which move through arcs to simulate the beneficial motions of both sports. A hydraulic piston provides resistance.
