This is a very specific device, but I thought I would upload it just in case anyone else needs any ideas for something similar. (and those sweet, sweet Prusameters, so please like/follow/download even if you don't want to use it :) )

I've been working from home and strangely, get even less exercise than I did in the office. I decided to mount my keyboard on a recumbent exercise bike and try to burn at least a few calories while I work.

I obviously designed it for a specific model. It might be adaptable to others, but I don't have any way of knowing that.

It does need 3 - ¼" 20 x 8" threaded rods and 3 ¼" 20 x 3" threaded rods and a washer and nut for each end. 

The Brackets are mirror images of each other and you need two of the bracket arms (they are identical). I printed in PETG with about a 50% infill for a bit more strength. Might be overkill.

I ended up super-gluing the stabilizer/tray mount to the arms, and I've been using a piece of plywood as the actual keyboard/mouse tray as I've been trying it out. I plan on printing/making something a bit nicer.
