A support device for a bicycle includes a support structure, a fixing group supported on the support structure and a movable element and a retention element configured to retain the front fork of the bicycle. The support device further includes a raising/lowering device of the fixing group, the retention element is translatable jointly with the movable element, and the retention element is rotatably connected to the movable element.

A support device for a bicycle includes a support structure, a fixing group supported on the support structure and also includes a movable element and a retention element configured to hold the front fork of the bicycle. The support device also includes a lifting/lowering device of the fixing group, in which the retention element is integral in translation with the movable element. The support device further includes connection means configured for slidingly fixing said fixing group to the support structure in such a way as to allow displacements of the fixing group with respect to the support structure along a compensation direction transverse to the vertical direction.

A bicycle support device that includes a stabilization platform, the platform interfacing with bicycle training wheels. When the training wheels are engaged within the cavities of the stabilization platform, the rear wheel of the bicycle is elevated. The elevation, in combination with a slot within the platform, allows the rear wheel of the bicycle to rotate freely.

Provided is bicycle handlebar extension apparatus (10) comprising a strut arrangement (12) having a lower end (14) configured to releasably engage a front wheel (34) of a bicycle (8) and an upper end (18) configured to releasably engage a handlebar stem (20) of said bicycle (8). Apparatus (10) also includes a brace (22) hingedly attached at a bottom end (24) thereof to the upper end (18) of the strut arrangement (12), said brace (22) defining at a top end (26) thereof a pivotable receptacle (28) configured to receive handlebars (30). In this manner, the strut arrangement (12) operatively engaged with the front axle (16) and handlebar stem (20) provides stationary stability to the bicycle (8) whilst angles between the strut arrangement (12), brace (22) and receptacle (28) are adjustable to facilitate desired rider ergonomics.

Disclosed is a bicycle exercise apparatus. A bicycle exercise apparatus includes: a main frame on which a bicycle is positioned; a front support unit which is provided at one side of the main frame and on which a front wheel of the bicycle is rotatably seated; a rear support unit which includes a rotation support unit that has a central portion rotatably coupled to the other side of the main frame such that the rotation support unit maintains a horizontal state while rotating together with the main frame, and one or more rear rollers that are provided on the rotation support unit and rotated together with a rear wheel when the bicycle travels; and a rotation unit which supports the main frame and is rotatably coupled to a central portion of the main frame so as to adjust an inclination angle of the main frame.

An item of exercise equipment with a movable support that is movable in a fore-aft direction and simultaneously movable laterally, e.g. about a tilt axis. The exercise equipment may be a cycle mounted to a base. A roller and track arrangement may be provided between the cycle and base, to provide movement of the cycle in the axial direction and in a tilt direction relative to the base. The roller and track arrangement may be one or more curved roller and track engagement surfaces that extend in the axial direction and provide a gravity bias of the platform toward an axial neutral position. The cycle and base include a tilt biasing arrangement for biasing the cycle toward a tilt neutral position relative to the base.

The present disclosure relates, in various embodiments, to improved simulation technology for use with a stationary training system. In some embodiments, this includes use of sensors, for example, wearable sensors, to control simulation parameters (such as display and/or performance parameters). For example, in some embodiments, a body worn sensor, such as an accelerometer and/or gyroscope, is used thereby to infer body position attributes of a user and, in response, configure one or more simulation parameters. These may include, for example, display parameters (for example, whether a simulated avatar is seated or standing) and/or performance parameters (for example, simulated wind resistance).

A bicycle trainer includes a support for supporting a bicycle having a frame and a rear wheel attached to a rear axle, the support biasing the bicycle into an upright orientation, and a roller for engaging with the rear wheel of the bicycle, wherein, when the bicycle is supported by the support, the roller is adapted to provide resistance against turning the rear wheel and the rear axle of the bicycle is not connected to the support.

To provide a bicycle trainer with which a wheel is less likely to come off even during low-speed running. A bicycle trainer 100 includes a pair of front wheel rollers 10 and 12 to support a front wheel of a bicycle, a pair of rear wheel rollers 20 and 22 to support a rear wheel of the bicycle, and a belt 66 to transmit a rotation of the rear wheel roller 20 to the front wheel rollers 10 and 12. The front wheel rollers 10 and 12 support the front wheel of the bicycle such that a trail when the front wheel of the bicycle is put on the front wheel rollers 10 and 12 becomes equivalent to a trail when the bicycle actually runs on a road surface. The bicycle trainer 100 further includes front wheel roller adjusters 14 and 16 and rear wheel roller adjusters 24 and 26. The front wheel roller adjusters 14 and 16 adjust postures of the front wheel rollers 10 and 12 such that contact positions where the front wheel of the bicycle contacts the front wheel rollers 10 and 12 become constant. The rear wheel roller adjusters 24 and 26 adjust positions of the rear wheel rollers 20 and 22 according to a driving power or a fictitious force of the bicycle.

A bicycle simulator (1) is basically constituted by a bicycle pre-arranged for static or pseudo-static use. The bicycle comprises front and rear supports (13, 14) for resting on the floor (12) that simulate the contact of the wheels of a normal bicycle on the road. The two supports are preferably constituted by a front supporting wheel (13) and by a rear supporting wheel (14) that rest on the floor and support in a freely rotatable way the respective wheel axles (3, 11). Rotatably mounted within at least the front supporting wheel is a flywheel (F1, F2). The front flywheel (F1) is set in rotation by a respective electric motor (M) or by a transmission driven by the pedals, for creating a stabilizing gyroscopic effect, which enables the user to maintain his balance when pedaling with the bicycle stationary, resting on the floor via the supporting wheels in a static condition. The crank axle is connected to a driven member, which is independent of said front support (13) and of said rear support (14) and is constituted by a rear flywheel or even by the front flywheel itself.
