You can buy something called a "trainer", which attaches to the rear wheel and lifts it off the ground. With that, and a phone book under the front wheel to get the bike level you're all set to use the bike as a stationary bike. There's also a contraption known as "rollers", where the're is a frame with some rollers in. The rear wheel sits on two rollers and the front on a single roller that's powered by a drive belt running from the rear rollers. This gives a bit more road-like feel to the riding, as it requires you to balance your bike just like on the road.

∙ 13y agoIf your bike has a quick release lever on its back tire you can make it a stationary bike. All you need is what is called a "trainer". It is a simple device that you connect to your bike tire and crank the level of resistance up and ride stationary. I have one for my road bike and I use it to warm up before a race.

Or you can do a net search for "tricycle conversion kit" and see if you are able to find something that can bolt on. Do note that trikes handle very differently than regular bikes.
