Crank extender for a cotterpin crank? Thats all I can think of.

Looks like a linkage from a Schwinn Air-dyne that helps connect the crank-arms to the moving handlebars. Probably one of the last hold-outs for cotter pin usage.

It looks like it could be an extender, but it it would run perpendicular to the crankset. You’d have a 90 degree bend in your crankarm, I think. that might look cool.

This is a Schwinn Airdyne Eccentric Arm for the Left side. Still used today on new Airdynes.

It’s an extension piece to make a cottages crank longer!

Spell checker! That should have read: it’s an extension piece to make a cottered crank longer.

It is an old Cotter pin that is designed to attach the crank to the bottom bracket spindle

It’s what Derric said. Excentric for a Schwinn Airdyne. Fixed many in my day’s a the bike shop.
