609550 A bicycle trainer (1) is disclosed comprising a biased, pivot mounted belt (7) for contact with the rear wheel of a bicycle (5), such that the belt moves in response to rotation of the wheel and applies a predetermined tension. Resistance to motion of the belt, and thus the bicycle wheel, is supplied by a drum or magnetic brake. The trainer can present a constant belt tension so that the bicycle rear wheel is never overloaded and is able to self-adjust to various wheel sizes or tyre shapes including knobby tyres. The belt is also able to adapt to the contour of the tyre so that the tyre does not wear unevenly. |
