A support for an exercise device includes a frame having a top, a bottom, and two lateral sides extending between the top and the bottom. The frame has a channel defined about an interior perimeter. The top, the bottom and the two lateral sides define an opening. The frame has a body support integrally formed with the frame. The body support is formed by a lower arcuate portion of each of the two lateral sides. A membrane is operatively connected to a carrier. The carrier is adapted to attach to the frame via the channel, and the membrane having a first side and a second side.

What is claimed is: 1. An exercise apparatus comprising: a stationary frame, a horizontal support member operatively connected to said frame; a sub-frame selectively movable fore and aft relative to said horizontal support member; a seat; and, a back support said back support comprising a back support frame having a top, a bottom and two lateral sides extending between said top and said bottom said back support frame, said top, said bottom and said two lateral sides defining an opening, said back support frame having a body support integrally formed with said back support frame, said body support formed by a lower arcuate portion of each of said two lateral sides; and, a mesh fabric membrane operatively connected to a carrier said carrier operatively connected to said back support frame to cover said opening of said back support, same mesh fabric membrane having a first side and a second side; wherein said sub-frame further comprises: a horizontal bracket, wherein said seat operatively connects to said horizontal bracket, said horizontal bracket adapted to be selectively movable relative to said horizontal support member; and, an upwardly extending member, wherein said back support operatively connects to said upwardly extending vertical member; wherein said horizontal support member further comprises a plurality of holes defined therein, said horizontal bracket having at least one hole defined therein, wherein a pin is adapted to pass through the hole of the horizontal bracket and one of the holes of the horizontal support member to selectively secure said sub-frame to the horizontal support member; wherein said upwardly extending member has a bore defined therein, said upwardly extending member also having at least one sidewall with a plurality of holes defined therein; wherein said back support further comprises an adjustment mechanism operatively connected to said back support frame, said adjustment mechanism adapted to move said back support frame relative to said upwardly extending member such that the back support is positioned to a preferred location to provide support to an user's lumbar area, said adjustment mechanism being in a spaced relationship with said second side of said membrane such that air can circulate there between, said adjustment mechanism having a plate, a polygonal member attached to said plate, and a pin extending through said polygonal member and one of said plurality of holes of the upwardly extending member such that the back support is adjustably movable along said upwardly extending member. 2. The exercise apparatus of claim 1, wherein said back support frame further comprises a cross member extending between said two lateral sides, said cross member having a central base portion and two oppositely disposed forked portions extending from said base portion and attaching to said two lateral sides, wherein said central base portion is adapted to mate with said plate, said pin is adapted to engage one of said holes of said upwardly extending member to secure said back support to said upwardly extending member. 3. The exercise apparatus of claim 1, wherein said sub-frame further comprises a planar attachment bracket angularly connected to said horizontal bracket, said seat adapted to attach to said planar attachment bracket. 4. The exercise apparatus of claim 3, wherein said exercise apparatus is a recumbent bicycle. 5. A recumbent bicycle, comprising: a frame stationary; a pedal assembly rotatably connected to said frame; a horizontal support member operatively connected to said frame; a seat; a sub-frame selectively movable fore and aft relative to said horizontal support member, said sub-frame further comprises a horizontal bracket and an upwardly extending member, wherein said seat operatively connects to said horizontal support member, said horizontal bracket adapted to be selectively movable relative to said horizontal support member; and, a back support, said back support comprising a back support frame having a top, a bottom, and two lateral sides extending between said top and said bottom, said bottom and said two lateral sides defining an opening, said back support frame having a body support integrally formed with said back support frame, said body support formed by a lower arcuate portion of each of said two lateral sides; a mesh fabric membrane operatively connected to a carrier, said carrier is attached to said back support frame to cover said opening, said mesh fabric membrane having a first side and a second side; wherein said back support further comprises an adjustment mechanism operatively connected to said back support frame wherein said back support operatively connects to said upwardly extending vertical member, said adjustment mechanism selectively moves said back support frame relative to said upwardly extending member such that the back support is positioned to a preferred location to provide support to a user's lumbar area, said adjustment mechanism being in a spaced relationship with said second side of said membrane such that air can circulate there between; wherein said horizontal support member further comprises a plurality of holes defined therein, said horizontal bracket having at least one hole defined therein, wherein a pin is adapted to pass through the hole of the horizontal bracket and one of the holes of the horizontal support member to selectively secure said sub-frame to said horizontal support member, wherein said upwardly extending member has a bore defined therein, said upwardly extending member also having at least one sidewall with a plurality of holes defined therein, wherein said back support frame further comprises a cross member extending between said two lateral sides, said cross member having a central base portion and two oppositely disposed forked portions extending from said base portion and attaching to said two lateral sides and said adjustment mechanism having a polygonal member and a pin extending through said polygonal member and one of said plurality of holes of the upwardly extending member such that the back support is adjustably movable along said upwardly extending member.
