Answer 6

True... how does this sound?
" While in space, astronauts on the Skylab missions used stay-in-place bicycles to exercise. To use these bikes, they had to apply resistance using a breaking system, otherwise Newton's laws state that once the pedal began moving, it would stay moving. Pulleys were used to hold the chain while a the chain wrapped around a lever, where pressure was added and pulling the wheels to a stop. "
