BICYCLE RACING TRAINING APPARATUS

摘要

In a exercising apparatus for supporting a bicycle, a pivotally mounted support member (65, 66) connects the rear axle (12) of the bike to constrain movement of the axle about the pivot point (70) of the support member. A support roller (108) cooperates with the support member to support the rear wheel. A flywheel (116) and variable load means (112) are connected to the roller to simulate the inertia and variable load experienced during the riding of a bicycle. When a rider of a bicycle shifts his weight forward the front fork support (42) bends and the rear tire of the bicycle pivots toward the roller to maintain frictional contact between the tire and roller. Frictional losses are determined and the variable load means compensates for the losses, and compensation is made for the inefficiency of the variable load means. The heart rate is monitored and the load is controlled to maintain the heart rate within predetermined limits.
