Devices and computer technology are configured to enable enhanced simulated bicycle steering for use with a stationary training system. For example, one embodiment includes a device configured to support and enable simulated steering of a bicycle front wheel, for use with a stationary training system, optionally including a sensor device configured to provide a steering signal for user by a bicycle simulator software application. Further embodiments include computer technology configured to provide bicycle simulation functionality, including steering. Simulation of steering is in some embodiments based on a combination of handlebars turning and bicycle tilt, and may account for counter-steering motions.
