Disclosed is an indoor cycle machine providing a user with virtual experience and exercise without straining knees, the indoor cycle machine comprising: a main body rotatably coupled onto a floor portion; a vertical support having one end coupled to the floor portion and an opposite end formed with a vertical through-hole; and a saddle support having one end coupled to an upper end of the main body and an opposite end formed with a saddle, in which the saddle support passes through the vertical through-hole such that the saddle support is rotatable inside the vertical through-hole, wherein the main body is rotated on the floor portion whenever the user steps on a pedal formed on the main body.

A stationary bike capable of leaning of tilting side to side during use is described. The stationary bike has a fixed frame portion and moving frame portion which is pivotally mounted on the fixed frame portion, at two spaced apart pivot locations, to allow the moving frame to pivot about a pivot axis defined by the two spaced apart pivot locations. The pivotal action of the bike may be resisted, such as by a damper. The tilt-enabled bike is equipped with a tilt disabling mechanism, e.g., a locking mechanism configured to selectively and operatively engage the moving and the fixed frame to disable the relative movement (i.e. the pivoting) of the moving frame.

A bicycle exercise apparatus is disclosed. The bicycle exercise apparatus comprises a frame body installed to be supported by a floor of an installation site and having an exercise space in a center thereof, a plurality of spring members each having one end that is installed on the frame body and the other end that is extended to the exercise space, and an exercise saddle installed in such a way that a lateral side thereof is connected to the other end of the spring member, to be able to be moved by an elastic force of the spring member.

Provided herein is a dynamic device that can provide lateral rocking with fore-aft action to a stationary bicycle trainer. Also provided herein is a dynamic device, which can include a four-bar linkage mechanism that can provide a stationary trainer or stationary bicycle with an intuitive and natural-feel lateral rocking action and fore-aft action to simulate motions of a bicycle being ridden in a non-stationary environment.

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.

Provided is a virtual road surface implementation-type bicycle simulator. The virtual road surface implementation-type bicycle simulator according to the present disclosure includes a rear wheel support portion that supports a rear wheel of a mounted bicycle and rotates together with rotation of the rear wheel; and a road surface implementation portion including a plurality of uneven portions that perform a protrusion operation at various heights on an outer peripheral surface of the rear wheel support portion in contact with the rear wheel, thereby providing a rider riding the bicycle with various road surface states which are virtually set.

An apparatus permitting a user to perform a simulated bicycling exercise is provided. The apparatus includes a frame, a first upper rear mounting point and a second lower front mounting point configured to maintain the frame, the first upper rear mounting point having an upper rear movable rotating joint, a seat connected to the frame and configured to support the user in a forward facing orientation, a wheel positioned in association with the frame, a set of pedals configured to interact with the wheel, a stem passing through the head tube, and a connection arrangement connecting the stem to a base. The frame is configured to pivot about the first upper rear mounting point and second lower front mounting point in response to leaning by the user, causing rotation of the stem by the connection arrangement.

A steering assembly for a mounted bicycle is disclosed herein. The steering assembly includes a support base and at least one omnidirectional roller assembly extending from a bottom surface thereof. The at least one omnidirectional roller assembly is operatively disposed in direct contact with a ground surface and is structured to facilitate movement of the support base along the ground surface in a plurality of different arcuate and linear paths to accommodate varying trail measurements of a bicycle. The varying trail measurements of the bicycle are defined by varying angles of the bicycle relative to the ground surface during operative use of the steering assembly.
