Abstract
Hand pedals for turning the crank set of an arm driven tricycle have modular interchangeable components including a bearing which mounts on the spindle of the crank. A bridge connects the bearing to a handle. The bridge has two legs connected by a transverse spar. Different bridges and handles may be used having different sizes, shapes, lengths and angular orientations which allow the hand pedals to be customized to accommodate a particular user. Hand pedals may also be used on hand cranked bicycles, stationary hand cranked bicycles and industrial equipment.
